New York Times Laments Income Loss for Afghan Businesses
After ten years of nearly constant derisiveness and complacency toward force protection and convenient ignorance of policies that have caused the severe wounding and killing of thousands of American Servicemen, The New York Times took the time to write about the loss of income for business in Afghanistan...
A Pilot’s Perspective on Michael Yon’s Medevac Debate
Connectivity, lack thereof, being what it is over here in Afghanistan, I was aware of the latest brouhaha Mike Yon has started about medevacs having target markers — ummm — big red crosses painted on them so we’d be in compliance with the Geneva Accords. I figured the controversy, which appears to be more flame [...]
US – Taliban Talks May Lead to Gitmo Detainees’ Return to Afghanistan
Another problematic point is that we have not only participated in talks with a unrepentant belligerent like the Taliban, but have offered to return hardened militants back to them and then, in all likelihood, back to the same battle space where our forces are still operating.
Note From Ranger Prosser: Army Cares More About Afghan People Than Soldiers
Many people remember Command Sergeant Major Robb Prosser. Robb is the man who shot the man who shot Erik Kurilla. This firefight is described in Gates of Fire.
I spent about five months with his unit in Iraq, and so Robb later invited me with his unit in Afghanistan. We were roommates in [...]
With Afghanistan and Iraq Slowing Down, Time to Cover Mexico?
A groundswell continues within the Dustoff community to have Red Crosses removed from MEDEVAC helicopters in Afghanistan. There is much behind the scenes work on this.

While there might seem little chance in hiding a roaring helicopter, the contrasting colors and sharp shapes of the Red Cross create a [...]

Army MEDEVAC Policy Must Change to Stop Unnecessary Casualties in Afghanistan
To Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and President Barack Obama:
For the last seven years I have written about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have covered the US Army, Marines, Air Force and Navy. I’ve also covered the British, Lithuanian, Afghan and Iraqi forces, among others, in places ranging from Iraq to the Philippines [...]
WSJ: Only 11% of Enlisted Military Recruits Came from Poorest U.S. Neighborhoods
The WSJ destroys the myth that the military is comprised primarily of poor people with no other career options:
It should no more be necessary to write this article than to prove that there were Jews killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11. And yet the mythology refuses to die. Just last week, [...]
