Headed for Iraq
By Lt Col P
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.

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.
