Valor
Dan Riehl has rounded up the year's citations for valor in the CENTCOM region. These stories do not get nearly enough attention in the mainstream media, not like the old days.
The military should consider producing these stories into newsreels and making them available for movie theaters to show in short trailers, just as we did during World War II. Given Hollywood's persistent claims to "support the troops" notwithstanding the outsized influence of the left on its artistic product, it would be interesting to see whether movie theaters would run the stories of these soldiers. They probably would if they had decent production values.
