Newly Discovered Army Reports Discredit “Winter Soldier” Claims

Lock Arms with American Defenders

When anti-American organizations and demonstrators march through our city streets spewing hatred and venom, many Americans simply shrug their shoulders, assuming without question that the streets belong to the malcontents.

I disagree vehemently. As a professional soldier I do not believe in the concept of conceding any portion of the battlefield to the enemy, especially since the rationale for the lack of direct response often is “We’ve always done it that way” or “they’re a bunch of kooks.”

As we saw a generation ago, street theater can be turned into political muscle, especially when most of the country’s voters remain uninformed on the facts, and we have a weak-kneed Congress.

Iraq Veterans Attempt ‘Winter Soldier’ Reenactment by Ronald Winter at Human Events

I just spoke with the authors of the Seventh Psalm and will be talking with them about the book on Blogtalk Radio next week on my Sunday show.

They have a very interesting story to tell - regarding their own background with military families, and military careers of their own…writing this fictional tale on the war on terror, only to discover that -even though it’s fictional - it depicts our young military men and women as heroes - and in liberal land you can’t have a hero in uniform…!

I can’t wait to get these guys in the air next week!

Reviews at Amazon are favorable:

Who needs Tom Clancy?, March 3, 2008
By Joseph W. Zima (Topeka, Kansas United States)

Jonathan Bruce has done for the “War on Terrorism” what Tom Clancy did for the “Cold War” - chronicle our military’s hi-tech efforts to keep us safe, but not at the expense of interesting human characters. Even at 585 pages, it’s a quick “read”. The authors’ military careers have obviously informed their writing - it is specific without resorting to alot of techno-babble! I eagerly await a sequel to further the adventures of Maj. Colin Blackford.

Here is a novel that could easily be more truth than fiction. Do you know people who think we should sit down with the radicals in this world and “just try to get along”? Well, this is something for them to read! As a retired Air Force pilot, I found this book to be very well written. It has more twists and turns than a Jack Bauer “24″ series, and you just don’t want to put it down.

Great Story, Realistic, and Well-written., February 14, 2008
By Henry S. Boyars “Northwest Wiz” (Meridian, Idaho)

I picked up this book because it reminded of the W.E.B. Griffith military novels I enjoyed while stationed in England 20 years ago. I was absolutely delighted with this book. Having been an Air Force commander and senior officer, I found the details, situations, and characterizations remarkably accurate. In fact, the characters seemed so similar to some of the people I served with, that they must have been drawn from the authors’ own experiences. Although not without flaws(there’s a missing hyphen on page 258), the writing is much better than many popular books of this genre. Although I am a hypercritical reader who is easily distracted, Seventh Psalm kept my interest to the last page and left me hoping for a sequel.

A prayer for Jack Idema from Fahim:

You fought for the people who were left so behind..You fought for the women who were treated like slaves…You fought for the children who were sexually attacked….You fought for a country and freed it as well…You fought for America to stop the terror…I will pray for you Jack, with my every breath…You are a hero and will be always.

It is customary on Sundays for me to offer up a prayer for Jack and Brent and that they’re both able to return home to the United States safely and without repurcussions from our government for doing the job they were sent to do…

If they’re not appreciated by our own government, it is good to know that Afghanistanis appreciate them for what they did and how they sacrificed for the people and women of Afghanistan.
