Everyone knows I'm fond of our brothers and sisters who serve in the military due to my service in the Army from 1993-1998. These days it can be very difficult to find objective information on what's really happening in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of the coverage here in the U.S. focuses on homocide bombers, improvised explosive devices and stateside motor mouths from both sides of the political fence.
Recently I've found my way to a great group of weblogs called MilBlogs. MilBlogs are a group of active duty soldiers, veterans and their family members who are posting thoughts, experiences and news to the internet. There are many interesting MilBlogs especially the ones penned by tropps serving in the combat zone today. My favorite one though is a site called the Mudville Gazette. This weblog features a daily post called Dawn Patrol that highlights important topics from other MilBlogs.
So if you're interested in finding out more info about what's really happening with the war, start out at Mudville Gazette and branch out to explore the many voices of MilBlogs.
