Michael Yon offers no opinion on the General Petraeus Report

Strange title, strange location for this latest piece from Michael Yon. His latest post comes to us courtesy of National Review Online

I promise it will all make sense when you click over and read what I consider to be one of Michael’s best. Not best in a boots on the ground sense, just best in that he has clearly defined for others where the most accurate information is available.

I’ll give but this much away and allow you to enjoy the balance as only Mr. Yon can write it.

It’s important to understand why I think battalion commanders — especially infantry commanders — are the best bet for unmitigated truth coming from just the right places on the ground; they are the best bet because they have SA: Situational Awareness. Good journalists don’t go around interviewing privates and young sergeants about strategic situations because privates and young sergeants don’t know what they are talking about. I know. I was both.
