Michael Barone directs us to a superb blog out of Iraq. Michael Yon, an independent observer, is reporting from Mosul giving excellent close-up information on military action there. Terrific pictures too.
Excerpt:
Combat comes unexpectedly, even in war.Check it out here.
On Monday, while conducting operations in west Mosul, a voice came over the radio saying troops from our brother unit, the 3-21, were fighting with the enemy in east Mosul on the opposite side of the Tigris River. Moments later, SSG Will Shockley relayed word to us that an American soldier was dead. We began searching for the shooters near one of the bridges on our side of the Tigris, but they got away. Jose L. Ruiz was killed in action.
UPDATE:
Slate also has a nice piece on Michael Yon. Read it here.
