Andrew Olmsted. I doubt most readers of The Corner–and indeed most writers here as well–were regular readers of his blog, but he was one of the best. Careful, reliable, passionate. He left a “last blog” in the event he was killed–in an ambush, it seems, not one of the two ways he expected (sniper or IED)–and it’s got a lot of good thinking in it. Take a few minutes off and read it, you’ll learn a lot about the way our soldiers face life and death.
