I've observed a lot of people on this site are way pro-miltary stuff. It's true, I myself am a piece...I mean peace lover. I have, however, been fortunate enough to fall upon an exhibitionist young soldier who authors a website (his blogs were recently banned by the miltary, but due to popular demand...) about his doings in Iraq. I get a bit nauseated at times by all the freedom and liberty junk, and that's why I kind dig young Jason's writing; he likes fighting, not for honor, but because, by-god it's bloody good fun! He fights, not out of long-suffering for the masses, but for selfish, personal reasons. Anyways, however you feel about the meta-politics & ethics of it all, you're bound to enjoy young Jason's writing from the field. Enjoy!:
