I saw this link today and went to read the story, http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/02/air-force-banni.html and I must admit that this is very disturbing. What is the Air Force afraid of? I mean, even the Army and Marines, who are typically more authoritarian and usually control their service-members more strictly are not taking this approach. Not to mention [...]

This sector is without argument the most volatile in the entire country and for the US to take that on along with everything else [...]

This is the first blog entry from a Guest Blogger. This posting is from Mike T, who is currently serving as an ETT downrange in Afghanistan facing enemies every day. Mike was one of dozens of soldiers that contacted me while I was in Afghanistan asking for insight, information and anything I could provide in [...]
A blog originally created by a 22-year retired First Sergeant of the Army. This blog started out as a way to write about military related issues. It turned into a way for Bouhammer to document his 16 month tour as an ETT leader in Afghanistan for family and friends. It is now one of the leading and award-winning blogs written exclusively on operations in Afghanistan and other military related topics. In addition to Bouhammer, another writer is The Dude who is a National Guard Officer currently serving as a civilian contractor in the country of Kuwait. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy what you see. If you care about what is happening in the land where the attacks of 9/11 were planned and if you care about our military, this is the blog for you. Tell your family, tell your friends, and even tell people you don't like.
