Below is a link to an op-ed contribution to the Sunday, August 19, 2007 edition of the New York Times titled "The War as We Saw It" by BUDDHIKA JAYAMAHA, WESLEY D. SMITH, JEREMY ROEBUCK, OMAR MORA, EDWARD SANDMEIER, YANCE T. GRAY and JEREMY A. MURPHY.
What is significant about this piece is that these men are still actively serving in the US military and were still deployed in Iraq when they wrote it. This raises some obvious issues about active members of the military making political comments and I think that is an important dialog to have. Irrespective of that point, I believe these men -- with their boots on the ground -- provide important insight and perspective on the situation in Iraq.
Whether you want us to surge on or wind down in Iraq, I think we should consider what these men have to say based on their personal experiences.
