Hey ABC News, give the credit where it is due

Bouhammer | February 9, 2010

If you read http://abcnews.go.com/WN/stolen-valor-challenges-fake-medals-met-criticism/story?id=9779478&page=1 you are led to think that the local ABC station in Houston are the ones who broke the store on McManus (Stolen Valor Douche).

PITCHFORK BRIGADE, Why are our warfighters being treated this way?

Bouhammer | January 4, 2010

Bouhammer | July 30, 2009

This is a hot topic this morning in the “milblogosphere”. My buds over at Blackfive.net (both Blackfive himself and Laughing Wolf) felt so strong about this they put up two postings about it HERE and HERE.

I just read this tonight, www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/23/obama-victory-necessarily-goal-afghanistan/
 
I am honestly sitting here in shock trying to comprehend it all.
I am reading comments like

"I’m always worried about using the word ‘victory,’ because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor [...]

"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.
