Major Ben Connable writes in from Ramadi, Iraq to discuss the situation there.



A key quote:



"Nothing any talking head will say can deter me or my fellow Marines from caring about the people of Iraq, or take away from the sacrifices of our comrades. Fear in the face of adversity is human nature, and many people who take the counsel of their fears speak today. We are not deaf to their cries; neither do we take heed. All we ask is that Americans stand by us by supporting not just the troops, but also the mission.



We'll take care of the rest."



A highly articulate article.
