This is from a high school newspaper in my area and I wanted to share it with you to show the real story from Iraq from a real soldier who attended the high school.

It made an impression on me when I read it and I'm sure it made an impression on the students and teacher in that class as well.

Good news and the truth from Iraq.

We need details about the location and the school. Give the educators some credit. This is real learning for the kids.

It's good to read about the interaction between our troops and the Iraqi troops - I'm glad to see there's a level of trust, there, on both sides, as well as a rapport between our troops and the Iraqi civilians. Kudos to the teacher who make it possible for his students to hear, first hand, from our troops in Iraq and diffuse some of the lies from the media.

Beck says he has established these relationships by striking up casual conversations with men in the Iraqi battalion. Ali is one of his friends with whom he has built a strong relationship. Beck has spoken to Ali's family and often joins them in their home for dinner. "He is willing to defend my life with his own," Beck said.

Obviously he's never heard that all Muslims want only to kill and enslave us, also as many Freeper members of the nuke Mecca crowd have pointed out all Muslims lie all the time as the Koran tells them to.






Do I really need to say, sarcasm?

This is a great article for a high school paper (never mind the wrong distance). Do they, the paper, have an email, and/or does the school administrators have email that I can send a 'good job' email to?

With so many stories about how schools are messing up it is very nice to have one about a school that is doing a good job.

A great article.

I'm guessing Central York is in Pa. It's 6137 miles from York, Pa. to Baghdad.
