Yon's Latest Dispatch

MSNBC even provided a link to it!! I believe hell just started icing up, however this particular dispatch is pretty hopeless sounding. The kind the MSM likes anyway. We post it here because Yon is honest, and also prints news that is positive as well...he prints news, not spin. In this article he sounds discouraged. Most likely, since he is living with them, he is channeling the soldiers feelings. Lots of photos in the article as well.

The latest group of professional soldiers I had the honor of accompanying was the 1-4 Cavalry from Fort Riley, Kansas. They opened their doors in Baghdad and wanted me to tell the people at home the good, the bad and the ugly. They didn’t hold back; they provided plenty of all three. In one neighborhood where residents have been subject to a methodical slaughter, our people found an abandoned Christian college that had already proved itself the proverbial island in the storm

Some soldiers wonder how many booms of death they hear over the course of a year—it’s next to impossible to keep an accurate count; explosions come from so many places here. Drifting into the smell of fine books in that library, there might have been a shudder from those shelves. Over the course of the war, the rumbles and crackles of thousands of human deaths must have coursed through these books. On the first night, after the raid, a chill from sweaty clothes caused me to shiver as I fell asleep hungry on the library floor.
