A U.S. soldier recommended for the medal of honor has written a book at the war in Iraq. It is a first-hand account of the 2004 Battle of Fallujah. The American soldiers eventually won the block-by-block battle, but the cost was great. David Bellavia conveys the intense experiences of combat, and presents well-drawn portraits of his fellow soldiers, as he captures their heroism and sacrifice.
I hear this book is even better than Blackhawk Down!
You can order it now:
“House To House” David Bellavia
Let me make a major point here, if I may. The book Blackhawk down portrays American Soldiers in a life or death fight against amazing odds. After that fight that they won … Bill Clinton withdrew our forces from Somilia. He ran. He surrendered.
That was a major lesson for Ben Ladin. The lessons is “Americans Cut and Run”. It lead to the USS Cole, and our Embassies being bombed. It led to the attack on the twin towers on 911.
The Battle of Fallujah is a stark counterpoint to Somalia. We did not run. President Bush demonstrated leadership and we prevailed. In Iraq the surge is bleeding and beating the terrorists.
The difference between the two is dramatic. Cut and run and pay big later. Suck it up .. display some guts and make a difference.
John Murtha would surrender. Dennis Moore would. Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. And we would pay later as would our children.
Cowardice like Bill Clinton displayed does not stop wars. Victory does.
This country did not become great by surrender. Redeploy = Surrender.
