Invited, at least. Hope Michael does embed in Afghanistan again. Maybe we can find out what’s really going on out there.

Yon vindicated?

Looks like he has been. This is what I meant by bickering generals.

With this funny observation about the legacy media from Instapundit: “Under a Republican President, it’s listen to the generals. Under a Democratic President, it’s all about civilian control of the military.”

UPDATE: The most amazing thing about the McChrystal affair is how dumb the general was. Really, really dumb, as VDH notes:

“Is it smart to be in Paris within a mile of any creep from Rolling Stone? How dumb is that? Such tag-along groupie folk exist to trash the military, and only get close to officers by being disingenuous in a manner that most teenagers would not fall for — much less a four-star general supposedly adept in insurgency trickery.”

What’s up with Yon Michael?

Posted on April 21, 2010 | Comments Off on What’s up with Yon Michael?

I’m still sending him a donation every month, and I have enjoyed his recent work, mostly photo essays from Afghanistan Good ones. I’m not necessarily concerned that his embed has abruptly ended, or that some milbloggers are coming down on him for his recent subsequent condemnation of Allied and NATO C.O. Gen. McChrystal.

The concomitant whacks of some liberal bloggers aren’t important. Gen. M, after all, is a servant of Obamalot, and Obamalot is hardly inspiring these days.  So I’ll just cross my fingers that Yon’s stunning (and rather petulant)  Facebook remarks are as supportable as the rest of his work has been for many years. And then just wait and see.
