Dispatches from Bangkok

Leaving the WSJ for the Marines

without comments

Thanks to Miles B. for passing along this moving op-ed from Matt Pottinger, who recently left the Wall Street Journal, at age 31, to join the Marines. More info here.

Pottinger says that living abroad made him more patriotic. I feel the same way. I’ve never loved America more than I do now.
