Georgians, still fighting, ambush the enemy

It’s good to see this report that at least some Georgian soldiers, including a few in desert camo who apparently are from the brigade we returned from Iraq, are still defending their country. They seem to be doing this in the defense of the capital city, according to Georgian Ambassador to the U.S. Vasil Sikharulidze.

One of the things I like about the Georgian army–in addition to their deployment of a brigade to help us in Iraq–is that they don’t goose step when they march, like the Russian army and, of course, the Nazis before them. They’ve also traded in their AK-47 peasant rifles for precision American M-4s, which they march with at-the-ready. In this stirring video they are seen to be a mixture of the modern and the ancient, and I hope they’re doing well tonight on the battlefield.
