This is great, our two favorite and most frequent guests on Pundit Review Radio, discussing Blackfive’s incredible, must-read new book Blog of War: Frontline dispatches from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Michael Yon: Where do you find inspiration?
Blackfive: I am such a fan of our armed forces because Iâ??ve served and I KNOW how great these young men and women (AND their families) are to serve their country for little financial reward.
And soon after I started blogging, I discovered how great my readers are. They donate money, time, write letters, counter anti-military protests, donate blood (and get registered in the National Bone Marrow database) and visit the wounded to let them know we care. Seriously, they are the best people on the planet. It wasnâ??t long before they were inspiring ME.
Last, I am inspired by people that go above and beyond in support of our troops. Thereâ??s a whole group that support our wounded. Via Soldiersâ?? Angels, thereâ??s even American expats and German citizens in Germany that help care for our men and women while they are there in transit to the States.
