Who is Michael Yon? The blogosphere is abuzz with this guy's first-hand reports with the troops in Iraq:
When I came back into the TOC, Major Michael Lawrence--who I often challenge to pull-up contests, and who so far has beat me (barely) every time--looked me square and professionally, in the direct way of a military leader and asked, "Mike, did you pick up a weapon today?"

"I did."

"Did you fire that weapon?"

"I did."

"If you pick up another weapon, you are out of here the next day. Understood?"

"Understand."

Yon is linked throughout the (right-wing) blogosphere, from the big guys (Instapundit, Chrenkoff, Malkin) to the up-and-comers (Truth On Iraq, Slublog, Right We Are) and many others.
