The Waiting...

"The Waiting...

is the hardest part

I cant prove it, but Im beginning to think that about half of our time is spent waiting to get permission to go outside the wire.

If it rains we can be canceled. If there is lightening we can be canceled. If there is action almost all convoys might be canceled.

I am beginning to suspect the Army is becoming obsessed with limiting casualties due to public opinion back home at the risk of the aggressiveness that saves lives and accomplishes missions."
Chapter: War

New milblog I just found.

All I have to say to that comment is get used to it. The administration fights the war to win the election, it's his MO, and I don't expect anything to change anytime soon.
I would offer one more piece of advise to this blogger, maybe he'll see it. Never make those kind of remarks again on your blog or the administration will shut you down.
