What America Is up Against?

I came across this story yesterday, but I decided to wait to post it till today.  This story seriously {ticked me off} enraged me so much. It makes me want to go join the CIA and learn Arabic/Farsi. 

 I first learned of this story on Fox News {Read it Here}, but was re-directed to the writers {Michael Yon} website. About Michael Yon: “He is a former Green Beret, native of Winter Haven, Fl. who has been reporting from Iraq and Afghanistan since December 2004.  No other reporter has spent as much time with combat troops in these two wars.  Michael’s dispatches from the frontlines have earned him the reputation as the premier independent combat journalist of his generation.  His work has been featured on “Good Morning America,” The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, CNN, ABC, FOX, as well as hundreds of other major media outlets all around the world.” His website is pretty great!

Via Michael's Webstie: "I asked the Army to declassify the storyboard, and so they cleaned off some coordinates and other unimportant trivia, and here it is: {PDF}" *This is your warning; some images may be disturbing to some.

I am reminded of the quote by Gandhi, “Be the change you want to see in the World” .
