It is no secret

"It is no secret that my unit is preparing to deploy to Afghanistan. As I approach that date I have been thinking about how I am going to continue this blog while I'm deployed. For anyone that read this website while I was in Iraq you know that I wrote it like journal, because that is what it was to me, the writings that I have been keeping for years, simply with a publish button at the end of it. But, now that I am with a different unit, with a very different and unique mission to be accomplished on this deployment, I am at a crossroads. I cannot possibly continue this website like I did last year in Iraq, both for operational security reasons and for reasons of safety for my family and friends. So, with that being said, I regret to say that I will no longer be publishing anything that involves my involvement in the Marine Corps on this blog."
Jake's Life
I don't understand what it is about serving in Afghanistan that makes blogging so problematic. I'm not necessarily commenting on Jake here, as he did explain that this mission required extra security, but it has been my experience that milblogs from Afghanistan are always getting more scrutiny than those coming out of Iraq. Why the Fuck is that? Or is it just me.
