A Marine's View of Iraq

Luther tipped us off in comments to this great letter posted at Maggie's Farm.

It is a great letter. It reminds me of a lot of things, many of which happened nearly forty years ago.

But overall, it sounds more positive than 40 years ago, despite its worldly-wise tone.

I particularly liked the parts about the disruptive VIP visits and the tenacity of the Iraqis who continue to man the police forces of Anbar.
