Been reading some posts from my friend living in Afganistan. Sounds like the riots are pretty scarry. He says the bar he works at is closed for now, however on Thursday there will be a pool tournament. Yep life must go on. Michael Yon has also had some amazing posts from his time in Iraq. He's also been nominated for a Pulitzer prize. http://www.michaelyon-online.com/ He's an independant writer unaffiliated and supported by donations. His only "slant" if you will is that he wants to report about what the soldiers go through, which is pretty clear in his writings. Some of the stories are truely amazing.

Here is a good blog by a Sgt. Major serving "in an undisclosed area"--http://sgthook.com/2005/11/17/taste-of-freedom/ This is a good letter on this page, perhaps Ron will let it be posted?

Thank you Red Tux. Anybody else? I thought a subject such as Iraq and Afghanistan would get a bit more bite...Maybe "Small "C" conservatives really don't really know all that much about the war.

One of my friends is currently in Afganistan as a reporter. He's made a few interesting posts thus far. Recently he's been writing about the nightlife and day to day in Kabul. Amazing tales. Google shows two of his stories, but only one is accessable. http://eatthestate.org/10-10/RadioSaharAfghanistans.htm Look for Shooter in my Tribe friends, he blogs on tribe from Afganistan.

Where are you hearing up to date info on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Any good, cogent coverage from intelligent witnesses?
