.Support the New War Is Boring Afghanistan Surge
"Three years ago I launched War Is Boring as a way of gathering in one place all of my freelance reporting on military subjects. Today, that humble blog has evolved into a genuine news enterprise that sponsors and publishes young reporters working in the world’s war zones. We also feature comics, satire and commentary.
In recent months, we’ve covered Somali piracy, the Afghan elections, the U.S. “surge” into Afghanistan and realistic training in the U.S. meant to prepare Special Forces for Afghan combat duty.
For all its increasing sophistication, War Is Boring remains a labor of love for all involved. The site’s Google ads help pay for Web-hosting, but we pay travel expenses out of our own pockets. It ain’t cheap. In 2009, WIB reporters shelled out no less than $10,000 to bring you exclusive content from Gabon, Djibouti, Afghanistan and across the U.S. and Europe. Even after selling freelance pieces to other media outlets, we’re still deep in the red."
