Military Blogs
I am late discovering the world of blogs authored by our warrior class. A couple to note: Blackfive and Acute Politics.
Matthew Currier Burden started Blackfive upon learning of the valorous sacrifice of a friend that was not reported by the journalist whose life he saved. The most recent post on Blackfive is from "Uncle Jimbo" (which gave me pause since my kids have an Uncle Jimbo in the USAF) about our beloved Senate majority leader Harry Reid entitled "I'm Surrendering as Fast as I Can."
Acute Politics is a smaller operation from "Teflon Don." His latest post is a primer on Iraqi Security Forces and is a must read if you would like to actually understand what is happening instead of getting reports from journalists who never leave their briefing areas. This is great stuff you really can't get from other sources. As Don says "This blog represents my views and my views alone. Do not misconstrue anything you read here as US policy, goverment opinion, celebrity babblespeak, or anything else."
