Very much worth reading, especially the analysis on what's being done to destroy Sadr. Once you limit the problem of Fallujah and knock out Sadr's support, you have a much brighter future.

Memo to many freepers:

Don't fall for the spin by the weak and timid amongst you that are portraying this battle as a disaster. Such people are always looking for our failure to justify and rescue their constant pessimism. They are raising false flags of defeat in the press and media. It just isn't true.

Thought others would like to read also.

Miracle of miracles, however, Sgt. Morales on Friday was shot in the CVC (helmet) -- the bullet ricocheted around his head and fired into the back of his seat, never cutting his skin!!!

Sgt. Morales will not get a Purple Heart for this action. Kerry would have out himself in for three plus a Silver Star...

I certainly hope his optimism is justified!

Extraordinary post; my thanks to you for it.

I do have a friend over in this particular AO; he's a commander of a air cav unit. He expresses the exact same thing.

I often wonder how the media is missing the whole point!

At any rate: does anyone know of a website that will provide e-mail address for troops over there so that we can write to them?

Thank again...

I hope that SPC Roche is keeping a journal (or that someone is saving his emails). He's a very articulate writer.
