82nd Soldiers on Iraq

I’ll admit it. I’ve always thought the mighty eighty deuce, my old division, was head and shoulders above all others. How can it not be, when it has soldiers and NCOs smart enough, articulate enough, and courageous enough to write this. I’m so proud.

Here, you can see a representative from the pro-war media playing damage control, and here is a great comparison between the soldiers’ Op-Ed, and a recent paper by the Brookings Institute, an increasingly neo-con “think” tank, which thinks hard about how to best convince America to keep sending its children into harms way for dubious reasons.
