.A Short Walk Through My Thoughts
"Sometimes I write and try to make a masterpiece on my first try. Other times it comes to me in time. Today I will just begin and see where my mind takes me. I can't say that I have ever made a masterpiece however, but there is always a first time. My life has been made up of so much having to do with the military these last 5 (almost 6) years. I grow weary thinking about it. For instance there is the story of the mortar."

well you might not like what he has to say.
But I am rethinking my comments, and I think I will remove them, as it might just call attention and get someone in trouble...what do you think?
If you ask me, and I have noticed a rise, after they almost fell off to nothing at all. I think that for once the administration the error of it's ways. The enemy was watching us, they saw the attack on milbloggers and knew that they had a chance to flood the net with propaganda that was not going to be countered. You asked the other day if I take my self seriously, well in a sense I do, I see myself, and other like you as the last line of defense on the information battle field. But we can only do so much.
It's not a joke either, right after the administration started closing blogs the volume of rhetoric from the other side rose geometrically, and it was the usual suspects, pictures of US soldiers shooting teenagers, pictures of people holding up body parts after an air assault, stuff like that . And who was there to give our side of the story, who was there to separate the truth from the fiction?
And it's not over yet by a long shot. I think if anything the administration is pulling back and letting more of the story get out to the general public in a last ditch effort to save it's self. Are they reformed, I doubt it, but they may just have no other options.
Amazingly I just saw my argument outlined on ABC's Nightline, I think it's the first time I watch in years...maybe there is a god after all. For he life of me I can't remember who the two guys they had who had analyzed the who thing were... just my luck. I guess I'll have to go search.
