Day 14. Friday the 13th.
A French soldier is dead. His name was Chief Warrant Officer Arnaud Frion. He was killed Thursday in Iraqi Kurdistan, where French forces were training local counterterrorism units.
He is the first NATO combat death of this war.
You almost certainly didn't read about him this morning.
That's why this newsletter exists.

I found this to be an interesting comment: “French forces in Iraq were there under an international anti-jihadist mandate, not as parties to the Iran war.” If the current actions in Iran are not anti-jihadist activities, there’s no reason to be there. But they are, so we fight the good fight against the demon-possessed regime.

Thank you for these, Rudy. 🙏🏽
Absolutely my pleasure. Feels like this is the least I can do to help fight the good fight.
