PBS's Frontline & "Obama's War"

The PBS show Frontline has posted a great video on their website. Click here to go to the site. The video, titled "Obama's War," follows Echo Company of the 2d Battalion, 8th Regiment as they moved into Helmand Province in July and the efforts the Company has taken to hold Combat Outpost Sharp (named for a member of their Company who was lost the first day of the push into Helmand). The video is extremely well done and discusses the strategy behind counter-insurgency and what the Marines of Echo Company are asked to do to implement the strategy. The video is actually part 1 of a series that Frontline will air on October 13th. Good stuff and a "must watch," particularly for anyone with a loved one fighting in Helmand.

Sissy,
Spousal Unit and I watched this and thought it was very well done. However, I cried as I watched these brave young men under fire from an enemy they can't see. We pray for the safety of the Beloved Nephew in Afgahnistan, the Number One Beautiful Niece in Iraq and indeed, all our brave military personnel wherever they may be for their continued safety and thank them for their sacrifice. Thank you for letting me know about this program. It was something everyone must see.
