Milbloggers on NewsMax

I'm a proud member of this group and gladly support their cause, which is America's! From NewsMax:

His cyber handle is "Dreadcow" and his "milblog" is entitled, "Fun with Hand Grenades – the mindless ramblings and exploits of a U.S. Army infantryman deployed to Iraq."
Dreadcow is the author/creator of but one of the soaring number of military-focused Internet Web logs - "blogs" or "milblogs" - as online diaries created by American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are known. The phenomenon also extends to soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines stationed all over the globe, GI family members overseas or maintaining the homefront, and the occassional retired military guy or gal.


And:

Bloggers are free to discuss a fairly broad range of topics, give their opinions on virtually anything, as long as they don't violate obvious security/personal info concerns," points out milblogger "Greyhawk," who along with his wife produces MudvilleGazette.com.
The logo motto of the Mudville Gazette says that it is the "on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow."


This is the New Media, as opposed to the Anti-American Old Media. When I read stuff like this, I can't help but think there's hope for us in this Global War on Terror.
