Everyone was quiet: If you’ve got nothing to say, now is a good time to not say it
– the incomparable Michael Yon, reporting on British military operations in Afghanistan from very much up the sharp end.
If you do not regularly read his site, you really should as it is filled with gripping stuff. Please consider dropping your mouse on this link to contribute to keeping Michael Yon in action.
Thanks for highlighting that dispatch, Perry. Mike is a few bucks ahead because you did.
Looks like Tommy Atkins is still the same tough, smart character he always was. Pity you can’t get a few of these men who served in Iraq or Afghanistan into your political system. They would be a hell of an improvement on Gordon and his lot!
Just don’t visit Yon’s website unless you have at least a good hour of time to spare.
