Soldiers in Mosul speak out
By Lightning
Wow, a hearty bravo zulu to these "Electric Strawberry" soldiers of the 25th ID. All of them were well spoken, despite Senator Kerry's assumptions about their education and intelligence. I particularly like the soldier who mentioned that every time we hear someone say that we can't win in Iraq, it feels like an expression of their lack of faith in us. I couldn't say it any better.
Why is it that the combat troops want to see this thing through, but the average American is tired of this war? What do you have to be tired of? Do you have any understanding of what it means to be truly tired? To patrol for hours in 120 degree heat wearing 100 pounds of kit? I'm sorry that watching images of Iraq on CNN has taxed you so greatly. No really, I am. That's ok, though, because I'm willing to share some of your load so that we can press on with the mission. Because that's what we do when we get tired.
Hat tip to Allahpundit.
