WINNING HEARTS AND MINDS? WHAT ABOUT HALF-CREDIT?

(Note: Color Sgt. Limbo was not involved in the story below. The image is from HERE)

I’d love to take credit for the title, but it came with a piece about some Ghurkas out on a hunt for a head, ah-hah, Taliban. They got him, but not alive, and were attempting to recover his body as proof of the kill, when things got hot.

So — traveling light — they took his head home instead.

Charges are ostensibly being preferred against the head, er, hunter.

Gotta love those Ghurkas!

The full story, however, is HERE

GHURKAS JOIN THE FRAY

Michael Yon is an on-the-ground, hump-the-boonies, no-fooling-around journalist who covers the war zones like war zones should be covered. He's a journalist, not a media star, so that means he's also impartial.

He's presently filing reports from Brunei, where he working with Ghurkas getting ready for Afghanistan deployment. The tales of these tough MFers — who make mountain goats look out of shape when it comes to running the high ground — make for interesting reading.
