From the Front

Army Captain, Pete Hegseth is back in Iraq and writing from the front.  Pete makes outstanding points about the latest political push to derail the successes in Iraq.  Hegseth is more than a thinker, he's an actual doer.  Rarely have I met anyone who has put so much at stake for his personal beliefs.

I know two important books that are a good place to start.
