War cheerleader doesn't really want to go back

The L.A. Times features the right wing's favorite war correspondent, Michael Yon, the one actor Bruce Willis describes as the only correspondent "telling the truth about what's happening in the war in Iraq."

Yon is a character piece of work who has been in the United States for a while (the details on why are interesting and in the story). He's a big supporter of the war. However, even cheerleaders reach their limits:

"I don't really look forward to it. I think: If I go back, I could lose my legs or I could lose my life. And I like my life," Yon said.


Still, Yon says he might go since no one else covered like he did. Perhaps Jonah Goldberg could go in his place?
