Reading a soldier’s account of yesterday’s battle in Mosul, Iraq, reminds me of something — our soldiers, the folks most in need of a real vacation, are dealing with some serious shit. The more tired, stressed, scared and battle-weary they get, the more danger they’re in. And what are we accomplishing? We “handed over Iraq to the Iraqis,” but we can see how well that’s working out.

“End of hostilities?” Tell that to a soldier and see how many seconds it takes before you get shoved on your ass!
