Next month Sebastian Junger's new book, "WAR," will be released and it is bound to be a best-seller.
Junger was embedded with the 173rd Airborne in the dangerous Korengal Valley of Afghanistan and in his new book he talks about what he saw and how our troops are handling themselves in the God-forsaken country of Afghanistan.
Publisher's weekly reviews Junger's book here and I would strongly suggest you read the review as a way of finding out what really is happening in Afghanistan.
Here is the link to the review:

"WAR"---SEBASTIAN JUNGER'S NEW BOOK
Posted by Bill Corcoran at 12:16 PM 2 comments
TIME TO REMEMBER WHO STARTED THESE WARS
The 24-hour news media and mostly FOX NEWS have conveniently forgotten who started both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that have cost over 5,300 Americans killed and a cost of $9 BILLION a MONTH that was never figured into the budget.
PINK performs the hit recording, "DEAR MR. PRESIDENT," as a reminder for all those who have forgotten just how all this crazy war crap started and who was behind it with their lies in this salute to our men and women in the service.
President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were the scoundrels who lied us into war and it should never be forgotten what they did.
