An American 'martyr' is being hailed in the Sunni Triangle for restoring peace to a town where soldiers now fight only water leaks.
When we went out on patrol, the London Times reporter, Martin Fletcher, accompanied by the 3rd Battalion 7th Marines, felt so secure, he did not bother to wear his flakjacket or helmut.

Holy Shiite! Some leftists are forever making the statement, I'll believe there's progress when a western foreigner can go out without body armor!
Well, guess who's gong to eat crow?

Great find Matt. It is nice to get real time stories from people on the ground as opposed to the MSM in air conditioned offices here at home. Thanks.

Great reporting, Matt.
Martin Fletcher is a popular guy in London, hopefully, this will give some more benefit to why this war needs to progress and the terrorists killed.

Captain Travis Patriquin is another American hero that Americans know nothing about.
I'm sure his story would make a great book and movie.
I wonder where we could find a writer that would be interested in bringing his story to light?
