Another great review of RESTREPO

Bouhammer | July 22, 2010

I stumbled across this other review of the movie RESTREPO that was written on the USO’s website.

RESTREPO-PART II

Bouhammer | July 12, 2010

Bouhammer Poll: What did you think of The Hurt Locker?

Bouhammer | March 3, 2010

"Blog Description"

The Bouhammer [boo-ham-er] blog was 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 who served with Bouhammer in Afghanistan. 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.
