Military News

Posted By Blackfive

I'm finally getting through the backlog of email from last week. Each of these could warrant a post in their own right. Thanks to all for sending these military stories, editorials and profiles our way.

First, Scott M. sends this great piece written by Col Shaw, USMC - Farewell to the Corps. It's both a critical and faithful look at the status of our military.

Frank D. at He That Shall Live That Day links to a great article about a ROTC Cadet's near meeting with Jesus at Airborne School.

Michael G. sends these posts in a new series in the New York Post - American Heroes.

Geeklethal from the Ministry of Minor Perfidy tells us about the NEA's effort to get returning combat veterans to share their stories - Operation Homecoming.

This great story was sent by Darla. Marine Lieutenant who was wounded in Iraq and recovering at Pendleton greets his unit - the men who saved his life - as they return home. The story of the heroism of the Marines that day was featured on Blackfive as Showdown - Part 3.

Tanker Schreiber sends this awesome story about a descendent of Wild Bill Hickock's family and the modern day Cavalry in Iraq. If you ain't Cav....

Tanker Schreiber also sends this interesting article in FrontPage - Of Afghan Girl Schools and American Allies

James at Right Face! posts about a Marine who made the ultimate sacrifice and looks into some other sacrifices the Marine made to be with his Marines.

Jeff Quinton at Backcountry Conservative has a post about Sailors On The Ground In Iraq.

Scott A. sends this excellent NY Times Op-Ed by Nathanile Fick, former Marine Officer - Don't Dumb Down The Military - about Military Personnel Strength issues around a draft or volunteer force.

How about some good news? While not purely military, Arthur Chrenkoff has Part 6 of his Good News From Iraq series and it's worth your time to read.
