To stave off insanity, I have completely immersed myself in the blogosphere like a fobbit recluse...or a guy who still lives in his mother's basement. Milblogs are my fave, simply because they contradict stereotypes sometimes appropriated to the military of uneducated rubes at best, and a crazy cadre of Timothy McVeighs at worst. Newsweek recently discussed some milblogs, and it's good to highlight some more that are still active:
Godfather & Godmother of the milblogosphere: Mudville Gazette
Milblog database: JP's Milblogging.Com
Excellent Military Journalists that don't make America look stupid: Michael Yon, Michael Totten, Bill Roggio, and David Axe
Squid Blogs: CDR Salamander, Doc in the Box, and Yankee Sailor
Memories of Afghanistan: This War and Me
People who know more about counter-insurgency than me: Abu Muqawama and The Captain's Journal
People way smarter and less crass than me: Small Wars Journal
Proof that the military isn't a total sausage fest: GI Kate, Battle Dress U, Defiant Compliance, and Navy Gal
Iraq milblogs: Toy Soldier, SGT Grumpy, Kaboom, Badgers Forward...also Eighty Deuce and The Angry American who are outta here on the freedom bird
The Hunter S. Thompson of milblogs: Iraq the Purgatorium
The Kurt Vonnegut of milblogs: Army of Dude
Conspiracy of disgruntled O-3s: Iraq Partii, Jason, and myself (of course)
Aggregating the good shit: Thunder Run and This Fucking War
The heavies: Argghhh!, Blackfive, and The Sandbox
Politics and the military: Vetvoice, Soldier's Perspective, Active Duty Patriot, and Vox Veterana
This shit's funny: The Sniper
Thank you to all these folks for blogging, so that I don't have to seek alternative forms of entertainment like drinking mouthwash to get hammered! Please let me know if I missed any.
