I really appreciate reading Victor David Hanson. He has a way of turning a phrase that I enjoy. Here is an example of what I mean from his latest column.

[T]he military must finish the destruction of enemy forces in the unforgiving minute [of combat]. After all, a colonel who blows apart an Iraqi Baathist in April might win a medal, but if in October he shoots a round off near a terrorist suspect’s head to save the lives of his men, he can expect a court martial.

Much like reading G.K. Chesterton, I don’t always understand what the point is, but I love the way it is worded.
