Gates of Fire
Michael Yon's latest, Gates of Fire, is up.
Combat comes unexpectedly, even in war.
On Monday, while conducting operations in west Mosul, a voice came over the radio saying troops from our brother unit, the 3-21, were fighting with the enemy in east Mosul on the opposite side of the Tigris River. Moments later, SSG Will Shockley relayed word to us that an American soldier was dead. We began searching for the shooters near one of the bridges on our side of the Tigris, but they got away. Jose L. Ruiz was killed in action.
Although the situation in Mosul is better, our troops still fight here every day. This may not be the war some folks had in mind a few years ago. But once the shooting starts, a plan is just a guess in a party dress...
Required reading - go check it out.Happy Birthday to a Hero
Rebekah sent some more great photos of her uncle, Captain Robert B. , which I'll post tomorrow, but we've got more important things to do right now...It's Captain Robert's Birthday!!!
So, Captain Robert, here's a message from Rebekah:Happy Birthday Uncle Robert!!
You are so special. Thank you for
all you do!
Love,
Rebekah
And this is from all of us at Iraq War Today!
Click here for your song!
('cause you know you have to hear it today....)My Two Cents - Crossing the Line
You'd think the Anti-War crowd didn't have too many lines it hadn't crossed. Well, now it's got one less.
Imagine that you’re an American Hero. You’ve gone to Iraq or Afghanistan, doing your duty. One day, much like every other in your deployment, suddenly becomes like no other, and suddenly, your whole world has changed. An IED, an RPG, small arms fire – in an instant, you've gone from doing your job to fighting for your life. The fine medical personnel in our armed forces are able to save your life, stablilize you, and get you medevac’d out. You are then transported to Walter Reed Medical Center, where the fine staff there are waiting to do all in their power to get you healed up.
And then you find that something else awaits you at Walter Reed - Code Pink Women for Peace (good friends of Cindy Sheehan), and their ilk. Standing outside Walter Reed, with protest props like makeshift coffins, signs that say “Maimed for Lies,” and more – outside Walter Reed! Protesters of the war, not taking their protest to a center of political activities, but to a medical facility where our heroes are recovering from wounds sustained while doing their duty, and protecting the rights of these idiots to be idiots. It’s nauseating. It’s completely inappropriate. It’s just plain wrong.
This is the kind of thing I’ve been talking about. This is where the Anti-War crowd becomes Anti-Troop. It happened forty years ago, and it is happening now. This is, quite possibly, the only similarity of the present conflict and Vietnam – the radical left. With some of the same players, even - Joan Baez, Hanoi/Jihad Jane, John Kerry. Early criticisms of the President became attacks on the troops then - it cannot be allowed to happen now.
I urge you to do whatever you can, in your own little corner of the world, to make sure that this IS NOT allowed to go on unaddressed. Do not accept the unacceptable. And no, I'm not advocating violent methods. I'm just saying, do something to make it clear that they are not in charge. They are NOT going to be permitted to dictate whether or not this country protects itself. (And while we're on the subject, I doubt any of these "peace" folks will answer how many times they've become violent at "anti-violence" demonstrations. Spitting on troops is assault, by the way...)
For those of you that live near Walter Reed, the Freepers and other supporters of our troops are holding counter-demonstrations in the area. If you can get there, please do.
It has been said by some that you cannot support the troops if you don't support the war. I'm not entirely convinced of that, but I do know that the threat is there. That anti-war lunatics become anti-troop real quick. For the record, I support our troops 100%. And although I don't necessarily agree with every single thing the President does, I sure as hell agree with the choice he made in Iraq. I've stated the reasons before. The man was a threat. He was defying UN sanctions. And because that organization lacks the intestinal fortitude to do what it should, it was left to us to do it again. The man was a mass murderer, an enemy of the U.S. who shot at our fighters every chance he got in the no-fly zone. He needed to go - period. We no longer have the luxury of waiting to react to an attack. We need to deal with threats BEFORE they are in our front yard, and that's exactly what we did here.
People who think that "War is never the answer" ought to talk to a few Holocaust survivors. Sometimes, it damn well IS the answer. Sometimes, it's the ONLY answer.
You want to blame someone for the deaths of civilians in Iraq? Blame the madman who refused to follow UN sanctions, and dared the U.S. to come and deal with him. And thank whatever higher power that you believe in that there are men and women to wear the uniform and defend your right to speak your mind.
Don't tell me your anti-war protests support the troops. It was a lie forty years ago, and it's a lie now.Labels: Moonbats, My Two Cents, opinion
My Hero...
Rebekah sends these great pictures of her uncle, Captain Robert B. Here's what she had to say:
My Uncle, Capt. Robert B., and some other soldiers handed out soccer balls to some local children near Taji, Iraq. The Sheikh of the village invited the soldiers to dinner.
RebekahRebekah, thanks so much for sending these! They're great pictures.
Captain B., thanks for everything you do, and especially for going beyond the call. Keep your helmet on - take care, and stay safe.
Received Via Email...
Author Dan Castro has donated hundreds of copies of his new book "Critical Choices That Change Lives: How Heroes Turn Tragedy to Triumph" to our troops in Iraq.
The book is about the common principles that heroes have followed for thousands of years to turn tragedy into triumph. It's filled with dramatic and inspiring stories about heroes from the ancient past to the present.
The principles set forth help to confirm that our troops are making a difference in this world and explain how and why. The book will provide much needed encouragement and inspiration to our troops as well as to their families and supporters back home.
You can download the first two chapters at http://www.dancastro.com/
I've read the first two chapters, and I'll be picking up a copy - go and check it out!IED TRAINING — Light armored vehicle crewmen, Alpha Company, 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, pause to communicate with the rest of the platoon in a field training exercise that took place at Emerson Lake, Calif., Aug. 11, 2005.

Quote of the Day
"Great has been the Greek, the Latin, the Slav, the Celt, the Teuton, and the Anglo-Saxon, but greater than any of these is the American, in which are blended the virtues of them all."
-- William Jennings Bryant.
