The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: Time to Say "Thank You"
Do you want to say "Thank You" personally to a soldier, sailor, airmen, or Marine? Well, here's your chance! Write your email to "rottmope at yahoo dot com" and tell them how much we appreciate their efforts and sacrifice.
Update: Here's my letter.
Dear Soldier,
Please know that there is a broad swath of America that knows what's going on: thousands of incremental success stories; jihadists who are now turning on themselves (red on red fighting); an increased competence of the Iraqi military; and many other victories.
If you have access to the Internet, please avoid the mainstream media sites and go instead to www.powerlineblog.com, www.hughhewitt.com, www.captainsquartersblog.com, www.lileks.com, www.scrappleface.com, www.instapundit.com, www.nicedoggie.net, www.michellemalkin.com. These at least will introduce you to many other supporters of your efforts.
There are also "milbloggers" who you should visit: www.mudvillegazette.com, www.blackfive.net, www.lt-smash.us, and again, many others.
Have faith that the self-loathing among us will not be permitted to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Feel free to write back (nopundit at nopundit dot com) or visit my blog (10 hits a day ;-): www.nopundit.com. If you want a snap of Bourbon Street or something, I'll try to accommodate.
God Bless and God Speed!

Killing and Killers
The Smallest Minority has a Memorial Day post up and cites an essay by Eric S. Raymond, and a book by Lt Col Dave Grossman.
The question asked, in its barest form, is: are we natural born killers? The conclusion is no, we are not. Head over to the Smallest Minority for an unawkward look at what to most is an awkward topic.
