Yep, that is where this guy (http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/destor23/2009/03/the-war-in-afghanistan-was-and.php) is talking from. He claims that he ” supported the war back in 2001″. What does that mean, supported? Did he send the government a check? Did he send care packages so he could at least support the troops. And how does he define occupation. The last time [...]

This is a FoxNews Forum piece (http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/03/28/baker_taliban/) written by Mike Baker who was a former CIA Cover Field Operations Officer.
What he is talking about in this piece is exactly what I said in this blog entry, http://www.bouhammer.com/2009/03/a-big-mistake-by-the-president/ except that he threw in some good humor that most people can relate to in order to [...]

I used to like Bill Maher when I thought his satire was really funny. However over the last year or two I have been less and less impressed with this Oxygen Thief. H/T to LW from B5 for letting me know about this. The original posting is over at Michelle Malkin’s site, http://michellemalkin.com/2009/03/30/another-day-another-troop-smear/

Bouhammer UPDATE- Within minutes of emailing Mr. Schogol I received an email from his editor clarifying that it was not Mr. Schogol who made that statement, but rather Mr. John Nagl (http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/authors/john-nagl/bio/), who is the President of the think-tank, Center for a New American Security.

As if Scott Kesterson does not have enough to do already, in addition to the Where is Kilroy Blog that he has started he has created another one. This one, called Solo Journalism and Visual Storytelling is built more for his craft of “backpack journalism”. This blog will focus on the unique challenges and rewards [...]
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.
