David French: Christmas ?Over There?

By Alliance Alert

David French, Director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom, writing at National Review Online: "Especially for the men on the line, there is no weekly or even monthly rhythm of life like we have in the States. You just do what you do, day in and day out, until you go home. Then one day you go to the dining facility (if you?re fortunate enough to be working from a base), and there?s a cake and some Christmas decorations. A few days later, there?s another set of decorations. Your friends tell you ?Merry Christmas,? then ?Happy New Year,? and you just keep working. In my case, that meant preparations for a New Year?s offensive. For others, that meant another patrol. For still others, it meant another broken tank to fix, more rounds to load into the howitzer, or more time hunched over a radio."
