Hello Patterico readers!
Teflon Don here, author of Acute Politics. For many of you, I’m a new face. Some of you may know me from the times Pat has linked me here. In any case, let me introduce myself:
I’m a Army Combat Engineer, currently deployed to Iraq. I’m assigned to a route clearance company, tasked to keep roads in the area around Ramadi and Falluja clear of IEDs. I’m in the heart of the Sunni insurgency, and I’m increasingly hopeful about our fight here.
I can’t guarantee a lot of posts while Pat is gone, but I’ll chip in as time allows. Hopefully he’ll still recognize the place when he gets back.

Thanks for your service, Don! Look forward to your posts.
