blogs from soldiers in Iraq

They exist, and they're called warblogs. It's the type of word you know your daddy would love to bust out in scrabble, and with a w, b and g in interesting places, could be useful. Anyways, these blogs are really psychedelic. I mean, I know I'm supposed to be all grownup and everything, and have compassion, but I find the warblog to be strange...like reading deranged Milton talking about tv from his army campground.
