I want to welcome to the staff of writers (that’s a staff of two writers, now – me and one more) GI Jane\u00c2\u00a0whom I’ve known for\u00c2\u00a0three or four\u00c2\u00a0years. We’ve slammed back beers together a few times when she was stationed in DC (there’s a picture floating around the internet somewhere of us side-by-side, holding the bar up, beer mugs in hand) – but now the 28-year three-time combat veteran platoon sergeant has retired from the Army and moved to the frozen north country.<\/p>\n
She has her own blog at The Foxhole<\/a>, and she’s graciously agreed to write with me when she has a chance.<\/p>\n Her first contributions\u00c2\u00a0are on John Edwards<\/a> and Jimmy Carter<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0– two of my favorite subjects. I hope we see alot more from her – I’m sure you’ll enjoy her hard-assed NCO\u00c2\u00a0style as much as I enjoy it.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
