The media is so damn smart
I spent an hour or so at the Milblog Conference listening to the participants from the media telling a room full of milbloggers how the world doesn’t need us anymore because the mainstream media has the military all figured out. I talked with the guy from the New York Times (who knows what his name […]
“Got Your Six”, Eh?
Everyone here’s doubtless heard about the “Got Your Six” campaign out of Hollywood. NBC – yeah, that NBC, the same one that brings us MSNBC – is a sponsor. NBC also now is part owner of the Weather Channel. I didn’t know that, but it’s also not surprising. Media companies get bought and sold by […]
IVAW intersects with Chris Hayes
Earlier today, I wrote about Chris Hayes who couldn’t bring himself to call any service members “heroes” because he was afraid it would cause more wars. Always in the market for a good anti-America meme and a way to bash the troops, Geoff “Stolen Valor” Millard of the Iraq Veterans Against the War, steps up […]
Chris Hayes is uncomfortable with “heroes”

That crazy vet with PTSD thing again
So we get this story, sent to us by Tman from some woman named Amanda Crum at a place called WebProNews. It’s the story of a supposed veteran by the name of Ray Miles who forced his way into WIBW-TV in Topeka, KS to convince the television station to air his grievances against his treatment […]
Why The Military Times Is A Joke
At the Military Blogging Conference a few weeks ago, Jonn made the case (rightly so) for going after the media and calling them out when they do wrong. Well what happens when the media is supposed to be “our media.” The publications and press that cover the military exclusively? We’ll call them out too. This […]
13-year-old arrested for possession of big piece of plastic; media scares public
SGT K sends us this link which describes the terrifying scene as a boy captured by police with a BB rifle, a replica and an expended, inert AT-4 tube with their K9 team and tossed in the hoosegow; Three weapons were recovered, including an inert M136 AT4 “LAW” anti-tank weapon, a b.b. gun rifle and […]
