The general news I get from Milblogs is that though the situation's rough sledding in Iraq and Afghanistan it's not Chicken Little time over there, like some parties would very very much want us all to believe.

Blogs are the military's best and brightest PR machine. “…soldiers should be given the right to tell the world…” We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all bloggers are created equal?
