Yon Back to Iraq
Michael Yon is headed back to the war zone (or use permalink-> on the sidebar). He has a neat post on his journey there through Bangkok and the UAE along with some thoughts about India that he promises to write about at some point in the future.
The striking thing about this news is that he's going into Iraq without the blessing or assistance of the US military. He'll be truly on his own. This, my friends, takes balls. Sorry to use such a vulgar phrase, but I can find no other description that even comes close.
Having seriously considered doing the same at one time and coming up short (yes, finances were involved in the decision, but I ask for no quarter), he has my full attention and respect.
