Green Beret is American “Lawrence of Afghanistan”
Posted on January 17th, 2010 by Paul Davis
In my last post I wrote about the amazing job the young men and women aboard the USS Carl Vinson were doing off the coast of Haiti. The aircraft carrier is playing a major role in providing much needed relief to the poor victims of the earthquake.
But we should also remember that we are at war and our troops are in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Washington Post has written a very good piece on an amazing Green Beret, Major Jim Gant, whom one official called the “Lawrence of Afghanistan.”
If you want to know how we can, and will, win the war in Afghanistan, read the piece about this Army officer.

Where do I sign up? If they make these TETs, I will seriously look at trying to support one. I think it’s a great idea whose notice by brass is long overdue.
