One Veteran's Voice

Through the magic of the Internets, I learned that Brian Van Reet, an old friend of mine from high school I had lost all contact with, served for a year in Iraq, or as he puts it, "a year long government sponsored work/study program in the middle east where I learned how not to wage a counterinsurgency." He gives a bracing account of his experience there at the website for IAVA.

He also has a blog, One Veteran's Voice, where he writes under the name One Veteran. As you might expect of a veteran, especially of the current war, he does not mince words, whether it's about George W. Bush, domestic surveillance, or John Kerry's comedic skills. You have been warned.
