In his latest dispatch, Michael Yon writes of some of the sacrifices of war. It became obvious to me in reading this piece that Michael was very connected to not only the members of the military with whom he has served as an embed, but to his own emotions as he experiences not only the successes but the horrors of war.

We glided down through the German night, where a large group of staff waited on the tarmac to load the patients into buses. During the bus ride to the hospital, electronic monitors beeped, IVs dripped, and the patients’ litters were jostled by the road. The ambulatory among us steadied the patients, to protect them from further pain.

Another strong offering from Mr. Yon. A bit of an emotional roller coaster ride in many ways for the reader but in the end as always, the story as it really is.
