I agree with your take on MSM. People ask me all the time about how bad it is here in Iraq. My reply states to not believe the b/s coming out of MSM. This is no where near the "wild wild west" that it appears to be on the screen.

Ham radio is one of my hobbies and I use it to talk all over the world and also to several Iraqi friends here in country. There's a multitude of Iraqi citizens who feel "blessed by Allah", to quote an Iraqi friend, to have us here. Our arrival and continued presence helps keep the murderous Baath party at bay.

Most of the servicemembers here know the real truth. We are here and live it every single day. Sure, it is dangerous work, but most of us know why we're here. To be on the front lines of justice and democracy is the ultimate reward for many of us.

My deepest respect to my brother Marines. Their heroism and determination makes all our hearts swell with pride.

You and your buddies take good care my FRiend. Know that you have many thoughts, prayers and well wishes coming from home here. Wish I could remember that quote about the "taste of freedom" a warrior knows and others don't, but I'm sure that you all know the taste there. God be with you all.
