More on the Report from Mosul

After making yesterday's post linking to Hugh Hewitt read the entire article on his radio show. He had to wait over several commercial breaks to finish reading it all.

The response to his reading it (which would normally be considered "bad radio") was overwhelming. His callers included a former roommate of CSM Prosser (mentioned in Yon's article) and relatives of some of the others Yon wrote about.

Then this morning, WorldNetDaily had a link to Yon's story on the front page.

As Hugh was discussing with one of his guests or callers yesterday, there is a hunger out there for news from Iraq and Afghanistan. Real news. The kind of news that tells what our military is going through and how well they know their mission and how well they execute that mission.

All that the standard news outlets tend to give is body counts without any context. Michael Yon provides the context we need. Check out his other posts as well. They're well worth it.

Update:

Here's the link (and another) to Hugh's post reflecting on his reading of Yon's article on the air as well as the reaction from his listeners.
