Everyone knows that the eeeevil Yanks love their guns 'n' ammo. So what better killing field for them to hang about in than the army? According to experts like Michael Moore and Janeane Garofalo, they can kill babies, rape the land for oil, and torture the locals.

Or, if you live on this planet (unlike Mike & Janeane), you may be interested in knowing what American soldiers really do.

They help. They rescue. They feed and house. They do not give in to fear, though they live with fear everyday.

I recently received an email from an American soldier, telling me about a blog called Camp Katrina. It's for those of us who roll our eyes at some of the things the MSM reports about the military, since we know that the armed forces are not made up of babykillers. Cindy Sheehan can wail all she wants, but these soldiers are too busy to listen to her. They are busy saving lives and improving conditions around the world.

Those animals:

Camp Katrina Kudos to Spc. Lucas Crowe, a medic with the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, who was awarded the Bronze Star from Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in a special awards presentation Dec. 24 at Forward Operating Base Courage.

On Dec. 15, Crowe saved the life of an Iraqi two-year-old boy who had nearly drowned in the basement of his family home. The child had stopped breathing until Crowe administered first aid saving the boy’s life.

Crowe has added himself to the long list of soldiers who prove that the U.S. military does much more than just kill people and break things.

I've made no secret of my support for the American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I hope they stay long enough to finish the job. But don't forget about Katrina. While New Orleans cops were out looting with everyone else, the military was keeping the peace. Don't forget about Bande Aceh, where a year ago the American military was recovering bodies, handing out food and supplies, and opening hospitals.

Spend some time at Camp Katrina. You're sure to be impressed.
