Blogs from the Front

I've been reading several blogs from our guys over in Iraq. A couple of are from Al Anbar Province in Iraq where my husband is. Acute Politics and Badgers Forward have received some great attention from the milblogging community. TD at Acute Politics is a specialist and offers a rare voice; I haven't run across any other great blogs from someone of his years (he's 22). Badger 6 is TD's company commander and has written some great pieces about his company's activities and recently the company's tragic loss. Some very moving stuff.

Jack Army is another great blog from Iraq.

The Fourth Rail is a great source for the latest news on Iraq. His Iraq Report (updated daily) is a must read. And be sure to check out his Baghdad Security Operation Order of Battle updates and the maps that accompany. That gives a great perspective on where the Iraqi Army and National Police are in comparison to our troops. Very helpful. It is a real shame that the mainstream media don't devote the time to convey this.
