Save A MilBlog!!!!!!
Well, we have all been able to pull together to generate letters of support, perhaps now it is time to email one of the troops directly.
There is a great Blog run by a Soldier in Iraq called Fear and Loathing in Iraq. He is a Machine Gunner in the infantry.
His blog has told of attacks on their compound, ambush's during convoy, and horrific battles that have raged for hours on end.
A recent post titled, Men in Black, is a must read.
He is no writer, there are no spellchecks, paragraphs, and rarely the spacing and punctuation is correct. His site is a genuine and rough account of the shit as it happens.
After his Men in Black post his blog became noticed by different elements of his command. Since having to talk to his Battalion Commander about his blog he has become a bit shaken up, and has considered terminating his blog.
After you read his site you will surely become a regular. His stories are genuine and amazing. His blog offers a look at the real world the way the "dead tree people" in the news paper media can't offer. His facts are from the source!
Take a look at F & L in Iraq, and then email your support to westcoast11b@hotmail.com.
Tell him he needs to keep his blog running, and offer your words of support.
Fellow MilBloggers, this is our task! Take charge and encourage F & L in Iraq to keep running.
SlagleRock Out!
Hey, this guy has a great post, thanks for the link.
I've sent him a message of encouragement and hope everyone else out there does too.
I think he's going to make it unless he gets over loaded with comments, reading them all is a job in itself.
