Friday On The Milblogs

"You’d think all the criticism from left-wing websites like the
Huffington Post, Daily Kos, and Salon would royally piss off the Army.

But at least one Army report finds the sites’ posts to be consistently “balanced.”

• Milblogs and ranked by Army weekly: Noah Shachtman at Wired, Danger Room
• From the scene: SF raid turns up naught in Jalalabad: Tim Lynch at Free Range Int'l.
  
• Death Of A Rancher: Paul Greenberg at The Patriot Post
• In Marja -lead, follow or get out of the way: Colonel Gary Anderson, Small Wars Journal
• "Why the fuck are they out there digging?" Blast from the past: Lt. Rajiv Srinivasan
• The Final Inspection, a poem: Solomon Fein, (Oldest Military Blogger)

"The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass."

Solomon Fein, World's oldest milblogger and Normandy D-Day veteran, age 87
