Beloveds (No Longer Free State) exact words that came with the email:

This is a long, first-hand account of the battle of Fallujah from an embed. It portrays the ugly, gruesome side of war. It's well worth the read, but not for the young.

Sean Sims was a Texas Aggie and a Ross Volunteer. He will be buried here on Monday. His wife is a teacher in one of the local schools. He will be missed.

Because of that disclaimer, I didn't get to read it. Somebody tell me what it's about.

God bless our troops for their sacrifice. May we be steady in our resolve so that their sacrifice is not in vain.

bump ...this is a long, first-hand account of the battle of Fallujah from an embed. It portrays the ugly, gruesome side of war. It's well worth the read, but not for the young.

Reads like a NCO club rendition of a battle of Fallujah. The author certainly didn't have a ton of military knowledge.
