Guidons! Guidons! Guidons! Incoming orders.
You are hereby ordered to spend the next twenty minutes writing an email to a Marine of the 6th Regimental Combat Team.
Cassie, Kat, and Grim over at Blackfive have left it up to your generosity to get the needed 6000 emails. It's not like it hasn't been seen. We’ve collectively failed in only gathering about 2000 in three days. Un-freakin’-acceptable.
Do it. We want the full 6000. NOW. Write two if you have to. By COB today. 6000. MOVE.

Get your condensed good news from Iraq right here. Ralph Peters approves.
Floridians exercise their rights (and the press covers it well!).
In semi-related news, it looks like the civilian Walter Reed guards may need more range time. Psych evals wouldn't hurt, either. - FbL

]]> *A term of art from the artillery. Harassment and Interdiction Fires.Back in the day, when you could just kill people and break things without a note from a lawyer, they were pre-planned, but to the enemy, random, fires at known gathering points, road junctions, Main Supply Routes, assembly areas, etc - to keep the bad guy nervous that the world around him might start exploding at any minute.
*Not really relevant to today's operating environment, right? But, it *is*
The UAVs (oops, can't call 'em UAVs anymore - they're now Unmanned Aerial Systems... some Colonel got his Legion of Merit for that change...), er, um UAS's we fly over Afghanistan and Pakistan looking for targets of opportunity are a form of H&I fires, if you really want to parse it finely. We just have better sensors and fire control now.
I call the post that because it's random things posted by me and people I've given posting privileges to. It's also an open trackback, so if someone has a post they're proud of, but it really isn't either Castle kind of stuff, or topical to a particular post, I've basically given blanket permission to use that post for that purpose. Another term of art that might be appropriate is "Free Fire Zone".
