This looks like it might be really good. It is a documentary movie of the National Training Center (NTC) in Ft. Irwin, CA. I have four tours at NTC, three as bluefor (good guys) and one as opfor (bad guys). I think this will be a really good documentary that will educate the American people [...]

Freedom Watch Afghanistan from 8/29/08

Bouhammer | August 30, 2008

This is a very good Freedom Watch. It talks about recent battles in the Southern sector, shows NYNG 27th BCT soldiers getting thier 101st combat patches and cavalry spurs, and highlights an Active Duty Airforce Airman (I guess it should be Airwoman) that is also a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders.

Some more news out of the Stan?

Bouhammer | August 30, 2008

Back on the 18th, I wrote about some changes possibly coming with the ownership of command in Afghanistan. Well to go along with that, you should also check out http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/iraq/2008/08/19/pentagon-plans-to-send-more-than-12000-additional-troops-to-afghanistan.html which I think is related.

I really wanted to be on this one, but my full time life (i.e. civilian work schedule) prevented me from taking part. However I strongly encourage you to listen as LTC Hall has some great updates on 2/7s progress. There [...]

Despicable

Bouhammer | August 29, 2008

This idiot, I am sorry that is what he is, just makes me sick. He was one of the worst Presidents in the history of our country (the worst since I have been alive), has embraced the neck-cutting and child murdering terrorist as friends, and is now trying to put in his two cents on [...]

McCain-Palin…YEAAAHHH!

Bouhammer | August 29, 2008

I don’t talk a lot of politics on this blog, but since the next President will no doubt have a huge impact on our military over the next several years, I think this warrants being here.
Lets just say I am very excited and happy that he picked Gov. Palin. Who better to be the #2, [...]

"Blog Description"

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.
