In memoriam
From Michelle Malkin:
Michael Fumento honors two of our troops killed in Ramadi–Marine Major Megan McClung with the First Marine Division and Captain Travis Patriquin of the Army’s First Armored Division.
You might remember one of the striking photos Fumento took on his last embed trip:

The photo was of Capt. Patriquin’s desk.
R.I.P.
***
Patterico shares his experience working with Maj. McClung and hears from her father.
Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Some other good Orwell quotes:
“All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.”
“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
“The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.”
