| Soldier blogging from Mosul: MY WAR - Fear And Loathing In Iraq | |
| 2004-08-17 | |
If you are not reading this blog, you should be. Here is his post on CNN's description of what happened during an attack in Mosul, and his own first hand account: Men In Black. Continue reading for his full account, and he is from San Francisco too. The Bay Area is proud of you dude. Stay safe.

| #2 Woops, sorry for the re-post. I am gullible, I tend to believe the good and the bad until proven otherwise. |

| #1 I don't trust this guy and think he's making it all up. Clues: 1.) He has "Guernica" as his art--bigtime peacenik icon. 2.) He idolizes Hunter S. Thompson--also not a good sign for a soldier. 3.) I've seen no reports of enemy killed in Mosul or of combat action there. Mosul is in the Kurdish part, which has been quiet and orderly almost from the beginning. 4.) I don't think the military allows this kind of "debriefing" by blog that he engages in. It's just not done--talking in detail about taking on the Enemy and the bloodiness and bloody-mindedness of it all. In short, I think the guy's trying to create serious disinformation about what our military's doing over there and let's put it this way, it's not to flatter them as heroes. |
