Credit Where Credit is Due

HT: Vets for Freedom

Added emphasis (in bold) is mine:

"Within a year, our forces went from imminent defeat to creating the prospect of success, using a great deal of firepower, killing and capturing many enemies, but binding the local population to us at the same time. The intellectual framework came from Gens. David Petraeus and Ray Odierno and their advisers. But the deep understanding, skill and compassion that made it work came from service members and the many civilians who put their lives at risk for the benefit of their country and Iraq."

The rest is here.

My thanks to each and every one of them.
