A must read, a response by LTC Russell to Joel Stein's limp Los Angeles Times column. The Colonel has fought in Kosovo, Afganistan, and Iraq and very maturely counters Mr. Stein's snide and personally irresponsible diatribe... here!

An excerpt...."But what separates him from me is certainly not education. Nor is it conviction of purpose. It is indeed morality. But of a nobler kind. No greater love has a man, than he lay down his life for his friends—even when they act and write unfriendly."


Mr. Stein, if he read this would not understand. I can picture him with his friends demeaning the Colonel's purpose and smug in his characterization. Fact is, he'll never understand the Colonel's sense of duty to Joel and everyone else here in the US, in Kosovo, Afganistan, and Iraq.
