Interesting take from the USNI over Michael Yon's recent remarks about Afghan operations:
The conclusion:
Every man has to find his own way in life — but sometimes it is helpful to check around and grab hold of an external reference point. Anyone who has gone through the helo-dunker emergency egress training knows what I am talking about.
When everything and everyone around you all of a sudden seems out of kilter and swirling in chaos — it might be helpful to ponder if the problem isn't what is around you — but just you.
The war will go on — the story will continue to be told — but everyone needs some time away. 6-months, 12-months — some time to clear the mind and reset perspective. Just a thought. |
