You Need Me On That Wall!: Looks like another good book!

Looks like another good book!

Remember this article: http://caferacer99.blogspot.com/2007/04/good-article.html

Well the author of that article, Kyndra K. Rotunda, has written a book about her first-hand experience with the legal side of the war on terror. She is a lawyer and an Army Reservist and she's trying to debunk the myths about Gitmo. Here is the link: Honor Bound at Amazon.com

What should happen is the media and the anti-war crowd should read her book and take her first-hand account into consideration when writing or speaking about Gitmo. What I'm afraid will happen is that they will decide that the book doesn't fit into their preconceived ideas about what is happening there, so they will ignore it.

Pretty much the same way they ignore all of the rest of us in the military. Still waiting for the movie about one of the Medal of Honor winners from this war...

Col. Jessep:

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
