Swift Boats
Freelance journalist and blogger Kevin Sites is covering a different kind of patrol in Iraq: river patrol boats, with Marines. Sites says:
"When I see them in the river -- the 40-foot, olive-green boats -- all I can think of is Apocalypse Now. When, I wondered, would Captain Willard climb aboard and motor up the Mekong Delta on his way to terminate Colonel Kurtz's command with "extreme prejudice."
