MilBlog Extraordinaire

I've never hidden my admiration for our Military. Never.

And Milblogs are what got me caught up in blogging in the first place. I was looking for news. I needed to know what was going on over in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I knew I wasn't getting the bottom line from the MSN. So I found Blogs.

Acute Politics, in case you didn't know, is there in the middle of things in Iraq. There are some days I read his posts and feel like I can close my eyes and SEE what he sees. HEAR what he hears. Oh, I know there is no way in this life I will ever really KNOW, but he makes you feel like you can.

Two perfect examples are his last two posts. War Cocaine talks about that rush that comes after. After you've defied all odds. After you've been there, done that, and survivied.

Arabian Nights shows us a night on patrol. From ground level. And reminds us just what makes "a beautiful day".

If you're not hitting his site on a regular basis, you're missing something. You're missing a chance to really understand, at least as much as a civilian can, what this war is really like.

Acute Politics is, in my opinion, one of the best MilBloggers out there right now. If you're not taking the opportunity to read him, you're missing out. Seriously.
