(Via the Curmudgeon) Dorothy Rabinowitz in the WSJ Opinion Journal Media Log:
It does not require reference to Medal of Honor recipients to certify the U.S. military's courage and tenacity. Still, now is not a bad time to remember what happened when an outnumbered, underequipped force, hamstrung by superiors more concerned with appearances than success, was sent into Somalia--and to reflect on the nature of men impelled to acts of valor and selflessness, deeds that seem, still, to shine forth from that darkness.Yeah, that was Bubba's doing, but I hope that this time the politicians and the political generals have the spine to see it through. The leftist whiners, the UN, the jihadists, and the Euroweenies want us to fail - their advice is less than worthless.
