A Boots on the Ground Interview

Uncle Jimbo has an interview up with Capt B of One Marine’s View called One Marine's View - Interview w/ Capt B in Iraq stop in and find out what our troops on the ground are going through and more importantly, what they think about their mission.

“We are winning and doing a just thing here. We are so close to this thing taking off on its own and the Iraqi people taking the reins. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't happen in the next year. For example the other day in Ramadi, a suicide vest attacker blew himself up in the crowed and although wounding and killing numerous Iraqi's and Coalition service embers, they simply got back in line to be accepted in the service. That wouldn't have happened a year ago. They would have fled and we would be back to the drawing board. You got to war a chance and with the kick butt support I’ve seen from the American
people we will wrap this thing up and get the hell outa dodge, but only when its time to.”

It’s a good read and Capt B’s blog is a keeper.

Oh and tell them The Thunder Run sent you. *wink*
