The Real Thing

Just a few days after I played war on the computer, and busted caps on some cardboard in the desert, our armed forces are executing the biggest military operation (Phantom Fury) since POTUS GWB declared an end to major combat operations. I know there are going to be casualties, civilian and friendly, but we must push on to victory. The terrorist/insurgents were only encouraged the last time we let attempts at diplomacy stop us short. Now the enemy has swelled in numbers and laid their ambushes. Our Marines, Soldiers, and Iraqi Allies are going in anyway and our Airmen are raining death from above on those who try to stop us. Our British friends have moved in to seal off an escape/replenishment route and have taken casualties already. I have no doubt of the certainty of victory, only fears for the cost. Those of you who do so, say a prayer for our boys and girls' safe return.

Good coverage at CNN. Who knew? Sgt SlagleRock, that's who!
