In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, intelligence

is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.

Gates of Fire

Michael Yon is an independent photo-journalist and blogger currently imbedded with the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry (also called the "Deuce Four") in Mosul.

In his post, Gates of Fire, Michael's up close and personal journalism style gets a little too close for comfort. If it wasn't for his "middle of the action" photos, I might have found the story too amazing to be true. If this story doesn't end up on "the BIG screen", I will be very surprised.

Be sure to go here and read his past posts. It will give you a better sense of what's going on in Mosul than you'll get from the Left-Stream Media.
