Milbloggers are United

Against the Old Mainstream Media, says Harold Hutchison at TCS Daily:

Last weekend was the 2006 Milblogging Conference held in Washington, DC. For this author, it was the first chance to meet Austin Bay, a TCS contributor and colleague of mine at Strategypage.com. But the gathering also gave folks an insight into how military bloggers (aka milbloggers) have been making a difference in the War on Terror...

Milblogger efforts have shown that the landscape has changed greatly from Vietnam. As Steve, who blogs at Threatswatch, pointed out, the Tet Offensive was a military defeat for the North Vietnamese, but the victory by American forces on the battlefield was taken away by misreporting from the media of that time. Today, such misreporting will not go unchallenged, as there is a check against the MSM.

There are 2 wars going on, the one with the terrorists "over there", and the one for the hearts and minds of the public here at home.
