Jungle Patrol

Been working on a post for nearly a week trying not to sound so foaming at the mouth, but it's not working. I should give up on these things sooner. In the meantime I've actually cleaned up the blogroll and eliminated dead blogs and bad links. Also rearranged the sidebar to put the archives at the bottom where they belong and added a button for "Get Fuzzy," one of my favorite cartoons.

In the course of cleaning up the blogroll I actually read more than a few of them and ran across this Belmont Club entry which links to this excellent account of fighting Islamists in the Philippines back in the early 1900's.

I linked to this online book some time ago but it must have been on an old blog because I couldn't find it searching this one. It's at the very least instructive, and for me fascinating, and may give you a sense of depth as to what we're dealing with now.
