One Soldier's Journal

One Soldier's Journal: "It is sad, however, that the insurgents are trying to prevent great prosperity for themselves, their family, and their country. I work in the Division Headquarters for the Corp of Engineers in Iraq. There are nine of us directing all the operations for all the Army Engineers working to build Iraq. My job is much more like being a senior executive of a 20 billion dollar company than a soldier fighting a battle. My weapons include Power-Point and e-mail. I am in charge of the night shift, so for a few hours I am responsible for quite a bit. "

This blog is worth a read, it's a well written and very readable account of Frank Myers experiences rebuilding Iraq. As you can probably tell from the excerpt above, he honestly and earnestly believes the party line about American foreign policy and the 'liberation' of the Iraqi people. Parts of the blog are quite moving, though it's hard for me to get over his naiveté at times.
