Michael Yon’s latest dispatch from Custer’s old 7th Cavalry patrolling in Mosul, Iraq, with photos:
"If Americans really wanted to know their Army, American kids would be swapping trading cards of the battalion commanders and command sergeant majors, company commanders and 1st sergeants, and those legions of unknown squad-leaders who earn three Purple Hearts and decorations for valor before they are old enough to rent cars back home."
And unlike Lurch, the braggart soldier, these 3-purple heart squad leaders don’t go home after 4 months.
