I just came across this and I had to post something. I watched this show and it was a phenomenal diary in the life of a platoon of National Guard soldiers as they patrolled and secured some of the most dangerous roads in the world. Now they are punishing the platoon sergeant, SFC Toby Nunn [...]

While checking out the ever-famous and highly successfull site concieved by my buddy JP, www.milblogging.com, I saw a link to an article about the book signing that I will be part of on Monday.

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.
