Editing Out The Last Scene
By Lt Col P
Damian at The Torch sent me a great link to his post from a Canadian soldier serving in Kandahar. (I must apologize, as he sent it a couple days ago and I haven't been able to get to it til now.) It says so many of the things that our soldiers and Marines are saying from Iraq and Afghanistan, but I like the title-- "Will We Edit Out The Last Scene?"
Not long ago, the Mayor would have come to the KPRT and asked for help fixing everything. As the City will repair the road on its own, this is a good sign of progress. The Mayor and City engineers feel confident enough in their abilities and that of their staff and equipment to take on these significant road repairs by themselves.
That right there is one of the "Tenth Steps" that I have mentioned before. Iraq and Afghanistan are places where it's not two steps forward and one step back, but rather ten steps up and nine back. But that tenth step, while oft times quiet and unnoticed, is momentous. Good work, KPRT; we'll do our part to spread the word.

I like that: the "tenth step" idea. I'm going to have to use it.
The first time I use it, I'll say "As Lt Col P likes to say..." The second time, I'll say "As a friend often says..." The third time, I'll be saying "Like I always say..."
On a serious note, thanks for spreading the word about this stuff.
