Godspeed Smitty!

Smitty over at The Other McCain is taking some much deserved time off from blogging to go to Afghanistan courtesy of the US Navy:

I hold orders to activate in mid-November and report to Kabul, Afghanistan in time for Christmas. Bandwidth, and latitude for skylarking online will not exist until the end of 2011.

If I’ve done you any favors, I’d ask that you make this the single most linked post in this blog’s history. I do have one other project that I want to get out, and something for Pearl Harbor day, but the regular features I’ve been doing are in a hangfire for the nonce.

Yes, there is a ‘Dread Post’ positioned in Draft, backdated to November 2009. Pray that Stacy lacks occasion to publish it.

Thanks for all the Rule 5 links (mostly to pictures of the lovely Dana Loesch). Keep your head down over there, but do enjoy the food. Kadu Bouranee and Qabili Pilau are my favorite two Afghani dishes. Of course, we'll be praying for your safe return so you can link to my blog some more enjoy many more Veterans Days to come.

Thanks for your service!
