"“You've got to be careful where you emotionally release as a leader, because you don't want your moment of weakness to cost another soldier a moment of strength." - Sergeant First Class Toby Nunn, during his second Iraq deployment

I'm going to start off this review of Frontline's Bad Voodoo's War the best way possible. SFC Toby Nunn, who I shared the honor of being a panelist at Brown University's Watson Institute last fall, speaks to Deborah Scranton (Director of "The War Tapes") about his experiences and why he is a soldier.

Toby is a Canadian citizen who loves America. He's smart, tough and can turn on the American badassery in heartbeat - and he is also brilliant.

I'd follow SFC Nunn into hell carrying a gasoline can. You'd want your son under his watch.


Lots more from Blackfive about it here

#1  SFC Nunn caught WaPo in a "Green Helmet " article. See the article presently at the top of the WoT Background section.

His use of language reminds me of Steyn, another Canadian. They must still teach the English language up there.
