Debate this, losers!
Our friend at Blackfive highlights one soldier’s message to Congress, the main stream media, and other “things.” His list of unmentionables:
In my area of operation alone, these are the side effects of our success that you will never see on the evening news or highlighted in a Democrat TV appearance:
o 43 modern schools have been opened
o 5 modern district centers have been opened, with 13 more on track for completion
o 13 cobblestone roads in local bazaars built
o 70 kilometers of improved roads built (that is a big deal here)
o 215 solar street lights installed (Taliban hate the light, like cockroaches)
o 5600 Afghans employed directly or indirectly on projects sponsored by Coalition Forces
o 3 mobile phone companies competing for coverage in our area of operation (yes, even here there are cell phones)
Don’t hold your breath anticipating any of the above items making the 6:30 p.m. national newscast.
