			<description><![CDATA[Michael, I am currently overseas. I was watching Sky News and saw that Sangin was pretty busy yesterday 14 August and last night with 3 more UK troops lost. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any news about Sangin on CNN, Fox, or even Sky News websites. Surprise. I hope all is well or at least "OK" for you. I am at loss for what I hope for the Brits. What is it 16 or 19 lost in the past 4 months. There really isn't anything that I could say to them. But they are in my thoughts and I try to tell anyone who will listen about them and their efforts, yours too Michael. Sincerely, Eddie Clark]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Simon, This subject is covered extensively under "No Young Soldiers" Michael is in a difficult position. He is a Photo JOURNALIST. Taking a position on any of these topics could compromise his jouralistic integrity. Suffice it to say, we readers can wrestle these issues to ground and leave Michael to do what he does best. In a subsequent book (hopefully) he can render opinions. Just saying.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'll take your challenge. I've donated in the past but I now donate another $25.00 with a commitment of $20.00 per month set up to debit automatically. Wish I could do more but its better than doing nothing at all. Keep safe, keep up the faith and keep the reports coming! I'll do my part to keep people reading!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In Iraq, our guys, who were on the same base as Marines, said the Marines did 7 month tours. Our ANG were there for almost 2 years and higher ups for longer than 2 years. However, I have the utmost respect for the Marines. I don't know about Afghanistan, but in Iraq I considered them to be the tip of the sword. --with due respect for ALL the branches. As it takes all the branches of the military to win a war. AS for people griping about the British, geez they are in the thick of things along with other coalition military. And they are taking some heavy losses also. I can't imagine any of the combat soldiers with ideal hygiene in that heat under those conditions. Heck I just want em all to survive and go back to their little corners of the world in one piece and of a sound mind and I'm sure they'll all be showering up a couple times a day just cuz they can.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Michael, I'm sure you've been informed of this article, but I would be interested in your take on it, as an American embedded with British troops. It is disturbing to say the least, and just the latest of several similar incidents. Do you think the US and UK relationship is fracturing at the senior officer level? My personal impression is that this officer has contradicted himself several times. How can the British have too many bases (many sited in the middle of Afghan towns right amongst the locals) and yet not be engaging the locals enough? And in these 'platoon posts' only the utmost standards of field discipline and hygiene will enable a post to function properly, so the British can't be too bad. Finally, the US Marines themselves only had six month tours in Iraq. Your perspective on this would be very interesting. Cheers.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There is some sad news highlighting the dangers that Michael is facing on his embed with The Rifles and underline his comment that 'this is a very contested area' with reports today of casualties from Sangin. See > http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8200492.stm No doubt we'll learn more about this incident directly from Michael. Michael, be sure to let the troops know how much we care about them and the difficult task they are undertaking on our behalf. Be careful!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dear Michael; I have sent $5 in the past to you; I'm sorry that I don't currently have even that much to send you now. I'm bedridden, fighting foreclosure, without a car to even go look for another place to live; husband lost his job in March, & since he's on unemployment, the state kicked us OFF Medicaid paying our Medicare premiums of $100/month, so now we have $200/month less cash than before. I just don't have money to send at this time. More importantly, I can pray. I know it's the Lord God Almighty who is watching over you, protecting you and keeping you safe. It is He who will sustain you through all that you do. When we pray, His hand is moved to meet the needs. So I promise to pray for you daily, when my family has devotions and we pray together. I will pray for your safety and your prosperity. I greatly admire you for what you do. If you need a good ghost writer, copy writer, editor, or proofreader, I will gladly volunteer my talents, skills and abilities to assist you in this area. It would be a way that I can help you and thank you for all you're doing to keep us informed without the bias seen in the mainstream media. Thank you for doing what you're doing, Michael. Keep the faith, and keep up your good work! Those of us who appreciate you will surely support you to the best of our ability! God bless you and keep you safe in His arms.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Okay Michael, I'm sending another $100. Hang in there my friend and keep up the great reporting and photos and.....sell those photos man! Write another book with all the photos in it, it will sell. Use a ghost writer and edit it yourself. Market yourself harder and you will have all the cash you need, in my humble opinion. Easy to say, hard to do! Our friend just returned to his family of four and we are thankful for that. He and hsi wife are career National Guard. She deployed twice to Iraq and he once to Afghanistan, so they and their family has sacrificed to the nth degree, as many others have done. Freedom is never FREE!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[El Tee, Amen! I completely agree. Things are tight, my husband & I both just got 15% salary cuts, but I bet something is better than nothing in Michael's situation so we will start sending $25 here and there. His "Moment of Truth" book was so awesome and informative, and if he writes another I will definitely buy it. We need Michael right where (safely we hope) he is so we can hear the whole truth, not just one side or the others. Thank you Michael for what you do, and we will start sending more to help and hopefully it will make the difference.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I CHALLENGE YOU ALL I am struggling to make ends meet these days, but I just made a tiny donation ($25) to Michael so that he can continue this important work. So, I challenge all of you readers to match my donation - better yet, if you can afford to, send $100-200. In my humble opinion, Michael's work in Iraq helped us to approve the Surge, and ultimately helped changed the course of the war. No other journalist, soldier, or politician has been able to do this. We cannot let him down; for our soldier's sakes.]]></description>
