#1 This is and is going to continue to be a thorn in the side of the MSM. Not only do soldier blogs give a blow-by-blow that the MSM doesn't, but as a resource for historians, they are far more useful. In addition, once the histories start being produced, the glaring errors and filtration will be immediately thrown back in the face of those who would re-write history at the expense of the soldiers, and it will be done so in forums that cannot be ignored. And they will face the same face, rhetorically, as did "journalists" caught in the camp of Gen WT Sherman: to be taken around camp while riding on an ass, backwards, with a sign reading "spy" around their necks, before being kicked out, told that the pickets had orders to shoot on sight if they made effort to return.

#2 Hey Anonymoose:

I love William T. Sherman! Would that we only had more like him today!

"...to be taken around camp while riding on an ass, backwards, with a sign reading "spy" around their necks, before being kicked out, told that the pickets had orders to shoot on sight if they made effort to return."

Ah, if only ... if only ...

Great post!
