A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
Pam at Iraq War Today writes How Much is a Backpack Worth? “It costs about $50 to fund a Soldiers' Angels backpack for the wounded.
But its worth is far higher than that (letter edited by me):
"To all the 'Soldiers' Angels,'
On behalf of all the doctors, nurses, Corpsmen, and Marines at ---------'s surgical company in Iraq, thank you so much for the great backpacks!...”
Michael Yon writes The Long Road Ahead “Tarin Kot is extremely dangerous, but the enemy has so far left this road crew unmolested (although a car bomb exploded recently on a road they’d just finished). A few weeks earlier, when I was in a different part of Tarin Kot, a car skirted past the road crew’s check point.”
Captain B writes ANOTHER SMELLY CLOUD FROM THE LEFTIST MEDIA “The Presidents ratings were noted to be down 39 percent this week as noted in the USA/Today Gallup Poll, “The lowest of his presidency and a warning sign for Republicans in the November elections.”
The poll of just over 1,000 people resulted in the numbers due to a few pillar topics. Iraq, Gas prices, Immigration and Medicare. But looking at the first, Iraq what has really affected the president’s future from Iraq?”

Sgt Hook writes NSA Is at It Again “And I for one am damned glad! Thank God there are those actually doing their jobs, tirelessly trying to protect our nation. Keeping track of what phone number contacts which phone number isn’t any more harmful than the cookies I leave all over the damn internet. At least the reason behind the phone number database has my best interests at heart.We are at war people with an enemy that wants you dead.”
Charlie Munn at OPFOR writes On Leadership “Well, in a break from writing about grand strategy, tactics, terrorism, and impending doom, I decided to take a brief break… and write a bit about leadership. Here are some leader lessons I’ve learned from VMI, the Army, and the civilian world. With the college season coming to an end, and many 2nd LTs getting their commissions, I thought it was about time I imparted some wisdom –so here we go:”
Some Soldier's Mom writes Dear "ER" (the TV show) "Dear ER, Tonight on your episode you showed the death of soldiers in Iraq in furtherance of your story line. You also showed the Casualty Assistance Officer and the Chaplin telling the widow of the soldier (a doctor) killed by the IED..."
