Rusten Currie, one of our nation’s many fine MilBloggers, writing from his position in Baghdad:

The real progress is in the faces of the average Iraqi. The real progress lies in not the road behind us but in the fact that there is a road ahead of us. Sorry if it is an uphill climb that many of you have grown to complacent and lazy to travel; so don’t worry about it we (the military) will do it. Comparing this to “the Nam” is ridiculous. Especially if you never served, let alone in Vietnam. We have the mightiest nation on Earth. Our military is the mightiest the world has ever seen. Let us do our job. “Iraq has become a training ground for Al Queada.” A US Senator Said that. Well good, then we can drop them before they get good at this insurgent thing. It is better that we are fighting this game with our away jerseys.

I agree.

And I would like to thank Currie for taking on the “uphill climb.” Him and and all our soldiers.
