Marines in the Thick of it
Posted By Bouhammer on July 9, 2009
Under searing and back-breaking heat, the US Marines are doing a kick-butt job in southern Helmand province.
Fox News did a good story on this today, and I was kind of amused at a comment half way down this article. www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,531006,00.html
“I’m confident the Marines have my back,†says Sgt. Scott Whittington, a combat correspondent who routinely ventures outside the wire to capture images of Marines in different war zones. Like many of his fellow Marines, Whittington has combat experience in Iraq and a calm confidence that comes with having been in similar situations.
But Afghanistan is no Iraq.
It’s even funnier if you’re his friend and you know how different this assignment is from the one in Iraq.
