Michael Yon (who may soon be filing a lawsuit against Michael Moore) forwarded this striking photograph from Afghanistan as an LGF exclusive:

I thought you might want to see our folks in action. This nighttime shot is from my days with a tiny unit of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. We were 2 days drive from nearest paved road, and very deep in Taliban country. In case of serious attack, the nearest backup was probably too far away to matter.
