If Michael Yon isn’t on your daily reading list, you’re wrong, just wrong.
“Afghanistan, I think, is making tremendous progress. In the next one hundred years, these people might be poised to leap over the 12th and 13th centuries, landing with a smile, a sword, a gun and a bomb, in 14th Century. Perhaps another hundred years later they will land in the 17th century, and in another hundred into the 21st. But by then some of us will be in the 24th century, having either finally obliterated ourselves, or perhaps having finally conquered the common cold while raising kids on planets we never heard of today.”
I’m continually amazed at the clarity of Yon’s writing. There is just no comparison between him and the mainstream media talking heads with their “five soldiers were killed by a car bomb today” daily talking points.
