Hello all, I am back in the blogging seat, having spent last week getting settled into a new civilian job.
Although I missed commenting on the John Kerry don’t-flunk-out-or-you’ll-end-up-in-Iraq comment when it came out, I’ll use it as a segue now.
I’d like to introduce one of the Iraq-bound Marines, LtCol Kurt Wheeler, a Marine field historian. Oh, and by the way, he’s a real dummy too, one of those countless dolts from rural America who managed to get out of a dead-end burg only to find themselves stuck in Iraq. A high school history teacher, track coach, town councilman, Harvard BA and MA. A real dim-bulb, huh? I don’t think so. More like the kind of citizen that makes this country work and stands up to do his part when the call goes out. He’s one sharp guy, and a real all-American. Bookmark his website and visit it often. I can guarantee he’ll have some great posts.

oh hell, I thought YOU were headed to Iraq.
might not have been good for your new job with the department of agriculture.
Thank God for the ‘dummies’. The ‘smart’ ones are too busy quaffing croissants to give a damn about the defense of this country.
Thanks for the heads up. This is terrific, two Marine Combat Artists and a Marine Historian with blogs. …that I know of. I just wish the general public knew about this…instead of getting all their info from television.
