First, go read THIS. It will explain some things then lead you to a full article of a Marine's experiences in Iraq. Both thought-provoking and entertaining.

Secundus, it's very interesting how my All The Rage columns have been instrumental in helping repair the relationship between me and my folks-in-law and help us get along better. Who would have ( Read more... )

Coolest Insurgent Act - Stealing almost $7 million from the main bank in Ramadi in broad daylight, then, upon exiting, waving to the Marines in the combat outpost right next to the bank, who had no clue of what was going on. The Marines waved back. Too cool.

Bet someone got a whuppin'.

I think that was my favourite bit. I almost fell out of my chair.

C'est la mort.

At least it will be a worthy death.

We can only hope the pilot chokes on bacon... just to add a bit of poetry to it.

Good point... That would be some sizzling poetry indeed.

We'll try that again.... ms_anthropos February 12 2007, 16:44:13 UTC

although i havent gone to read that link yet - talk about experiences. GO BUY Colby Buzzell "My War: Killing Time in Iraq"

I swear by that book, smart tech guy from SFO who was just piddling around in temp gigs, etc. Decided to sign up as a Infantry guy in the army and go.
He had a blog for a while about it all, was asked to keep it quiet, but was the first 'blogger' to get it noticed. Awesome punk rock attitude towards life, and what he went through in the war.

Seriously one of my favorite bookx recently.
