			<description><![CDATA[I know this is an old article. The reason I write now is that there is a current of folks here in the USA who say that Obama is trying to "internationali ze" the war. If he is, it is the ONLY thing right he has done. The Europeans (Brits exempted from this) need to share more in the COMBAT. Americans have come to their aid oh so many times; they could come to ours this time. AND, if they don't want to send combat troops, then we need to reevaluate what sort of aid, military or otherwise, that we are giving to them. Think of all the military equipment we sell at a cut-rate to European nations...if they can't help fight, maybe we should put the prices of the equipment where it should be or not sell to them at all...sure, they can buy old Russian junk if they want, but that is what they will get most of the time: old junk.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was stationed in FOB armadillo just on the other side of the helmand river... just about 3 km from FOB Gib, we could actually see FOB GIB from Armadillo, I was part of the Danish infantry company from February to August 2008, I remember every morning hearing the shot coming from the other side of the river, and it was the paras that were in contact... We also had a lot of firefights but not was many as our English friends on the other side of the river... You fail to mention in your article that FOB Armadillo was so close, I actually think we were closer to GIB than Robinson was... Sometimes the Taliban fled from a firefight with the para only to come into combat with us... We didn't loose as many men as the Paras did, but my section's(squad ) Corporal was killed the 26 of march... It was quite an experience been there... Just Glad we had such a great company just on the other side of the river...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Having fired a Martini-Henry, it's worth adding that "...you take your life in your hands if you shoot them" might be overstating the case. They fire black powder, which doesn't subject the weapon to the same pressures modern ammunition does. The round makes more of a "woosh" than a "crack", and my first shot gives the impression that - much like the LAW misslie - you swore you could beat the bullet to the target in time to see the impact. Check the weapon carefully - or have your armorer check it - and try a low-power cartridge the first time you fire the weapon. PS Note the slenderness of the wooden stock under the barrel. The barrels of the soldiers at the battle of Rourke's Drift got so hot from repeated shots that the linseed oil used to preserve the wood boiled out of the pores burning the soldiers' hands. They reportedly tore strips from their uniforms to wrap around their hands. The experience is credited by some for the heavy wooden stocks on the military bolt action rifles that followed.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[After reading and viewing the photos, the war becomes close up and personal and not so distant. The service and sacrifices you're making are immeasurable. Like the commentor #22 (:Blight) I agree that pornography has created more unhappiness in the world. Mature adults do not need denegrating filmmaking, and immature young people need values to emulate. Pornography accomplishes neither. I cannot imagine what it is like to live under such conditions, let alone witness and write about them. I will keep you in my daily prayers. God be with you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The reporting is clear and it's a wonderful service you're providing. Like comment #22 I believe pornography is abusive and has created more unhappiness in the world. Pornography is sometimes confused with the notion of entertaining adults. Mature adults do not need to resort to denegration as a means of entertainment and immature young people need strong values to emulate. Pornography accomplishes neither. Including it in your reports allows for commenting which is good. I cannot imagine what it must be like to live in such conditions, let alone write about them. Thank you hardly seems adequate. Now having been exposed to your coverage I will be sure to add you to my daily prayers. God be with you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One note about the Martini rifles. Most common caliber .45/577: these may be very old originals, may be local imitations. There were also Cadet variations that used the .303 British round (used through WWI and WWII and Korea). A recent lot hit the market from the arsenals Nepal. That lot was old, but not a local imitation. Some were made at the Indian arsenals about the 1890s. Without careful inspection it would be hard to distinguish local imitation from very old. In either case, you take your life in your hands if you shoot them. The big "raindrop" on the side is a cocking indicator.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sir, I have read your writing for years now. The book is on my shelf and your bank account has heard from my bank account a few times. Your writing has become a part of my life as I assign your text to my children as part of their schooling for it's clarity, vividness, and structure; use your stories of bravery, self sacrifice, and honor of the military community as examples of how a good person should act/react in the world; uphold your work for it's speaking of truth, be it good or bad, against the roaring noise of the media bias and the uninformed. Here is my problem with this article. Call me a puritan, not cool, or whatever. Pornography is a multi billion dollar industry. Some estimate the perveyours of this blight make more money than most businesses, worldwide. The use of this product destroys our families and makes victims of the men, women and children that are used to portray the acts of violence against human beings. When you give a wink and a nod to the practice, implying American unworldlyness as compared to the Dutch in their restriction of the product to its troops you have, in the position of influence I have given you in my world, made pornography a thing to seek out more information of and prostitution in the face of family a good thing. I challenge you, and your substansive journalistic skills, to find out the truth and consequences of this destroyer of our families, present and future, with its use of it by our men and women and children. To research and report of the predatory practices of the industry and how many crimes against humanity result when people view this product as normal and good. I realise this is probably not the forum for this sort of email but there is no other way to attempt to contact you that I can find on the website. Please accept my appreciation to you for the job you do in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. My thanks to you for your commitment to excellence. My gratefullness for your willingness to share with us what you learn.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great reporting as always, but this section jumped out at me: We would get into position first, to observe and cover the other two elements as they moved deeper into Terry country. As if we could go any ƒ??deeper.ƒ? The Command Sergeant Major, who told me to call him Charley, was at the head of our group, while Major Adam Dawson led the element most likely to get into serious contact. The Danes had told me that every time the base comes under attack, CSM Charley just walks around calmly. The Danes said that one day he had a cup of coffee in his handƒ??saying things like, ƒ??Stay focused. Pick your shots. Good job, keep at it boys. Youƒ??re doing fine work.ƒ? Anyone who's seen "Zulu," a fabulous movie, will recognize "Colour Sergeant Bourne" in this. I thought it was just a joke in the movie, a sterotype of the British, and yet CSM Charley is a living example. The British fighting man is just amazing for his steadiness. If only they had a government worthy of them.]]></description>

I was in Basra in early 2007 when you reported on our troops bagging the militiants trying to ambush our guys. Good job and if you are ever in Tidworth, UK.

			<description><![CDATA[These are the so-called "Kyber pass Martini henry" rifles which are locally produced imitations. These rifles were famously used by the Empire troops against the Zulus at Isandelwanda and Roark's Drift. See this site: http://www.martinihenry.com/khyberpage.html There are two main varients, the 1871 Mk 1 and the 1877 Mk II long lever action. There was a "Mk-III and "Mk-IV" but most were just reconfigured Mk ! or !!'s. Other variations were named and several different modifications were made on each of the main models. The "Khyber Pass" varients are made in backyards and shops from scrap throughout the region. Here is a site that discusses them. They can be quickly identified when compared to an original. http://www.martinihenry.com/infantry.htm Another rifle shown in one of the pictures. It is a locally produced imitation of the Snyder Enfiled..which was a 1866 British issue breech loading adaptation of the 1853 muzzle loading Enfield. The muzzle loading Enfield was much used by Imperial troops in India and imported by the thousands by CSA forces for use during the USWBTS. It was probably the most common confederate firearm. Actually, there may be an imitation 1853 enfield standing in the corner of one of the pictures. Regards]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Michael, Been a fan since the beginning - ordered 2 copies of your book, one for my Dad who started and couldn't put it down. I've yet to start mine because I know I'll suffer the same fate, but I did sneak a few pages in. In these days of massive media bias, when the anti-war left wants the world to perceive Iraq as a dismal failure, and puppets like Obama more than willing to placate them, some friend of mine have wondered how, in the midst of such BS, can the American public really find the truth? "Simple" I tell them, "Go to Michael Yon's site and you'll get the straight scoop on everything concerning the wars." I have repeatedly stated that I truly believe in these days of massive propaganda, misinformation, and downright disinformation, that the Internet is the "Great Equalizer". In wars past, even Desert Storm, the 'net wasn't the massive information tool that has become in our everyday lives. True, idiots would find what they want to believe regardless if the 'net was here or not. But most people want the truth, and misinformation only works when people can be truly misled on all fronts - "All of the people all of the time". Even in ancient wars, not everyone believed propaganda put out by their enemies. Propaganda works when you can control the flow of information, and the liberals have forgotten that we don't live in a 3 network world anymore, and that most people no longer get their news from a printed publication. The BS of the past doesn't work in the present, as too many have access to the truth, and they will find it. Again, the 'net is the Great Equalizer of our time. You, Michael, have become one of truth's biggest factors in the struggle between those who would misinform for political and personal gain, and those who wish and hunger for the truth, knowing there's more to the real story. Americans aren't as stupid as the left believes, and with your work you're helping to further educate the masses. Keep it up, and: DON'T FORGET TO DUCK!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Please check out http://www.anysoldier.com/ Click on "Where to Send" On the left of the page you will see a drop down menu that allows you to chose "country." Once you do that, a drop down menu below that will allow you to chose WHICH Country, Obviously Afg and Iraq are available. If you choose AFGHANISTAN, lets say, a list of names will appear of soldiers & Marines stationed in Afghanistan. Click on any name. An email from that person appear on the right & generally outlines what the men/women in that unit need. You can also click on the sister site: http://treatanysoldier.com/ to select pre-made care packages to send to your soldier of choice. Both sites work in conjunction with each other. Hope this helps!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Michael, My husband is in the Army and always talks about your books and articles. Today for the first time, I read Part I and Part II of Death in the Corn Field. Great writing and excellent photography! My husband is also currently in Afghanistan. We don't get to speak too much or too often but your articles were eye opening to say the least. You even have helped to clarify some of things he has been trying to explain to me. He would love to meet you one day. If you want his information, e-mail me. You never know if your paths might cross. He knows you are in country but I am not sure if he has had a chance to read your articles. Keep up the good work]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I doubt you remember me, er talked several years ago. The minute I saw your name on FR I remembered you and your wonderful reporting. Several years ago I lost everything on my computer including your e-mail address. Since then new computer, new e-mail address. So glad to see you are still reporting! You do such a wonderful job:-) As always, BE CAREFUL:-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Michael, Thanks as always for the great reporting. Tell the Brits thanks from America. Great pictures as well. Keep up the reporting. Things are a little nuts over here with the election and all. Thanks, David]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sir, Incredible reporting as always. Do you have any data on what actually happened to those French soldiers who were ambushed by the Taliban? I'm very puzzled as to what went on there as I saw photos at Paris Match of Taliban wearing a French soldier's uniform and with his weapon. What happened to their backup or cover? Why were they there? I figure if anyone knows - YOU will and asking never hurts... Respectfully, Orion]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[These pictures remind me very much of images from Vietnam - except that we have an opportunity to win this war and redeem the Western powers by bringing peace and modern civilization to a neglected corner of the world. If we succeed, we deal a mortal blow to terrorism worldwide. If we fail, we will fight the war in other countries. We civilians support you and pray for you men. May you destroy the enemy and return to us safely, and may your grandchildren have pride in your contribution to our great victory!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What great reporting. Some people are only aware of the mistakes that the British have made, like their negotiations with the Taliban in Musa Qala. Yet British forces are fighting fiercely wherever they are deployed in the country. Stories like this one and the one about the convoy to Kajaki Dam reveals the truth about their fighting spirit. We should honor such faithful allies. I am grateful and inspired by their unselfish acts of heroism.]]></description>
