Joe Katzman's greed and dishonesty on "Winds of Change"

Yet more on the attack on OP Hotel ("The Ramadi Inn")

I've updated this blog so many times, including just now, that I'm reposting it with the latest material. You haven't seen the material at the end (assuming you've even seen the material at the beginning) and - what the heck - you might as well watch the blast video again. In an…Read More

New video from the two firefights in "The New Band of Brothers"

I'm not sure why he took so long, but SSgt. Bobby Statum, who works for Army Public Affairs, has finally released video on YouTube he shot last April of the two firefights I wrote about in "The New Band of Brothers." The video switches back and forth between the actions. The one…Read More
