Absolutely Amazing

clipped from pajamasmedia.com “While I was at the Combined Press Information Center in Baghdad on my recent trip to Iraq, a pair of Spanish journalists—a newspaper reporter and a photojournalist—walked in, fresh from their embed with the 1-4 Cavalry of the First Infantry Division (the unit with which I embedded only days later). They had spent two weeks amongst the troops there, living and going on missions with them, including house-to-house searches and seizures, and their impressions of these soldiers were extremely clear.” (Jeff Emmanuel @ American Spectator / OpinionJournal) “Absolutely amazing,” said David Beriain, the reporter (and the one who spoke English), said of the young Cavalry troops. “In Spain, it is embarrassing—our soldiers are ashamed to be in the army. These young men—and they seem so young!—are so proud of what they do, and do it so well, even though it is dangerous and they could very easily be killed.”
