Lt
Smash - Was a running daily account by an
American
Armed Forces Lieutenant in the desert of Iraq. He is now back in
the states, but still keeping up his blog.

A
Minute Longer, A Soldier's Tale - from

Patti - "the sweetest woman on the planet
goes

Magic
in the Baghdad Cafe - Major Pain is a nurse.
She
wears army boots. She is near Baghdad at an Army hospital. She has a
rather,
um, 'unique' sense of humor. She is a terrible speller. And we love
her.
Her brother in Chicago posts her letters and emails.
WhosYourBaghdaddy?
- Day after day I am told by the Iraqis that the U.S. is way too timid
and soft in dealing with those who are attacking our troops. In our
efforts
to be P.C. we have shown ourselves as weak, easy targets.
Boots

not
reflect that of the US Military or US Government.
