24 April National Journal - Milbloggers With Attitude (http://nationaljournal.com/glover.htm).


Bloggers can be a critical bunch. When they don't like what they see or hear in the world around them, they let everyone within click range of their piece of the Web know it. And when they get together at a blog conference, then the rhetoric can really get harsh.

That's what happened Saturday at the first annual Milblog Conference in Washington. About 200 soldiers, veterans, family members and assorted others who gathered to celebrate the military blogging community spent much of their time chastising the media, denouncing peace activists and lamenting the military's lukewarm response to the blogosphere...

Follow the link above for the perspectives of the individual bloggers who attended the Milblog conference.

Two types of Milbloggers; they are either Intel leaks or full of crap. The worst are the idiots that never set foot in Iraq in the past four years.


I believe this cartoon applies to some

You need to get out more - there are many Milbloggers who have been there and done that. That said, there are POS blogs and there are great blogs - sweeping generalizations do not do this discussion any good - what so ever... Moreover, get used to the fact that blogging will be a huge part of the future of IO - to completely dismiss this form of influence / alternate news is foolish.
