In case you hadn't already heard

Michael Yon's latest dispatch is up. Lengthy, but well worth the read, especially if you're interested in our soldiers' experiences in Mosul, Iraq.

The book "Gates of Fire" is mentioned in the post. I read it earlier this year, and recommend it highly. (It's more of a "guy book"... or an "anti-chick-flick") Check it out at your local library!
