I recently skewered an anonymous photojournalist for his condescending attitude toward soldiers he was assigned to cover. Allow me now to sing the praises of combat photographers David Guttenfelder, Joe Raedle, and Manpreet Romania by calling attention to this remarkable series of photographs titled “Marines Pour into Afghanistan” at the Denver Post . And, if I may, send out a “Semper Fi” and thanks to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade in Helmund Province.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.

Make your year-end gift now using this secure link or the button below.
