oxymoron anyone?

Sorry to get all serious but I think this is worth it. The NYtimes has been launching a bunch of new blog projects lately and one of them is called "Frontlines," written by four members of the military who are in Iraq or have recently returned from there. My favorite so far is this guy. The writing is good and the subject material is fascinating--it's about working as a "combat artist" for the Marines (hence the oxymoron post title). Props to the NYtimes for giving these folks a voice.
