For months now, news reports on the War in Iraq have had overwhelmingly negative overtones, with far too many deaths and far too little cooperation between the various factions and forces throughout the country.
With all the brave American troops stationed over there, one would expect some of them to have some real ideas for change. One such person was Captain Travis Patriquin, who was recently killed in the very type of attack he was working so hard to prevent.
Despite his untimely end, his idea and the simple cartoon he created to illustrate it still stand, providing both a strategy that really seems to make sense and an interesting viewpoint on what the war must be like for those brave souls defending freedom and democracy around the world. If nothing else, I suggest that everyone take a look at the cartoon for their own enlightenment.
