This generation's Ernie Pyle?
« on: September 05, 2005, 01:39:18 PM »
I've been reading this guy's blog for about 6 months now.  Right now he's hanging out with 1-24 Inf in Mosul but he may try and find another unit when they rotate back to the States.  He's a great writer and he's giving people a better idea of what's happening on the ground in Iraq than the MSM.  I hadn't seen his name mentioned anywhere on this site so I figured I'd post this and give those who haven't heard of him something new to read.  His last dispatch, Gates of Fire, was amazing.  Check it out.

Oh yeah, I forgot.  He's also the guy that took this picture, despite the AP's trying to take credit for it.

Oh, Lord, please let me be as sanctimonious and self-righteous as those around me, so that I may fit in.
