Yon’s “Moment of Truth in Iraq”; my impressions

I just had mine delivered yesterday. Needless to say, I’m reading instead of blogging today – it’s pretty hard to put down. So get yours today while you’re waiting for Spring (and General Petraeus) to get here. I ordered mine months ago, but it’s been worth the wait.

UPDATE: After having been subjected to the company of the liars, cowards and whiners (including snot-slinging, medal tossing drama queens) of the Iraq Veterans Against War, the Veterans for Peace,  the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, it was a pleasure to spend a day with the soldiers and Marines that Michael Yon met and was privileged  to watch doing their jobs. You know, the troops that the media aren’t particularly interested in.

If you’re a regular reader of Michael Yon’s blog, you might recognize some of the stories and some of the people – but there are stories I don’t recall reading.

Yon claims that his book is about the new “Greatest Generation” and they truly are as he describes them. The folks who are working so hard and sacrificing greatly to help us win. Yon’s greatest generation stand in stark contrast to the misfits and crybabies of IVAW who hog the cameras here in the US for purely selfish reasons.

The book is also an indictment of the US media. They’ve been droning on and on about IEDs, the “grim milestone” watch, the temporary setbacks – and barely a word about the men and women who are doing the heavy lifting. Yon is just one man, but he’s brought more real stories about the real war back from Iraq than the entire media combined.

When you buy this book, not only are you getting an inscribed book, you’re helping to keep Yon on the job and helping to insure we’ll continue to get the truth about the miracle workers we’ve sent into Iraq.

Oh, and you’ll be sticking a finger in the eye of every nay-saying clown who call themselves “anti-war”.
