Lt. Col. Ollivant, if you read this, our humble thanks for your service and for that of those around you. And your remark is quite heartening. I had a drink with you and Paul Seaton a few years back in the Bronx, and look forward to seeing you again sometime.
I don't always like Ralph Peters, particularly in his overdone Euro-bashing moments, but he's got the investigative goods and analysis in this column. A must-read.
