I know that this is totally off point but Bill Maudlin has died. A collection of the better tributes here and here too (culled from here). As a vet, Mauldin's work always struck home with me. It wasn't about Rangers, Marines, Special Forces, Airborne, &cetera. He didn't draw Rambo's; he drew regular the everyday, citizen soldier and the doldrums and sarcasm of his everyday life. It's a shame that no one's out there to express the soldier's view anymore.
