Michael Yon is blogging effectively again, his latest post is HERE His remarks about the shithead officers and troops hanging out behind the lines are just like my experiences in another war. Officers not in combat revert to their "fuck you, take orders or die" selves, grasping all the free perks they can (pussy, food, a/c, living quarters, etc.) because they feel entitled. Michael is sort of optimistic about what we are doing now.
