Colby Buzzell is called back to duty in Iraq

"In the summer of 2004 I came across a crazy milblogger called CBFTW. His blog was called, 'My War: Fear and Loathing in Iraq.' Buzzell had never written anything substantial in his life before and when a friend told him about blogs, he created his own to keep from going crazy during some very heavy combat missions. As it turned out he is a natural at writing in a gripping but funny Gonzo stream of conciousness style.

I created this blog just to have a way to post comments on his. I never really intended to write in this space. Buzzell became a sensation in the blogossphere and inspired many others. My favorite CB inspired blog from Iraq was of none other than The Suspect!"
What the F*&#!?!?

That's funny because that is why I got mine too. Even the name, This Fucking War comes from playing with the letters FTW, or Fuck The World. I did it to protest them shutting him out. Fuck the Man just had different letters.
The legacy of My War lives on
