Guitar Heroes in Iraq

A Michael Yon update, from the Man of Substance.

A bit of a warning. It feels harsh. Harsh, that is, if you don't hate these fuckers.

So, you know, your milage may vary. Anyhow, a bunch of young bucks were killing time playing Guitar Hero (which I suck at, and I play, you know, a goddam guitar) and got the call.

Kiowa warriors kick some Al-Q ass.

Some coolness:

I often watch the live feed streaming down into the Tactical Operations Centers (TOC) around Iraq, while crosshairs track the enemy, and the screen lists data such as altitude, azimuth, ground speed, and the precise grid coordinates of the target

Oh hell yes.

Five assholes departed, one perhaps made it out with tinnitis.

UPDATE: Commenter Gideon suggested I check out Scott Ian of Anthrax, also sucking at Guitar Hero. Which was satisfying. Except, he's like, actually talented. Probably wealthy too.
