Renowned military blogger at Business Insider

| April 9, 2012

Yes, according to Business Insider, I’m a renowned military blogger “with an authentic voice”, so they’ve recruited me to join their staff. But, I’m not going anywhere – this blog is my authentic voice and hopefully I’ll be able to maintain the mediocre standard to which you’ve all become accustomed. Actually, they’ll just be snagging some of my posts from here to include in their Military and Defense News section. But, they may find that I’m nothing without my peeps, so you might want to stop by and make some of your witty and insightful comments.

They’re trolling through my posts now to move some over there. So there’s nothing except my profile at this point.

Well, I thought it was a big deal.

Worth it just to see Duffy’s head explode.

Witty and insightful? Does this mean I can’t call anyone a fucking douchenozzle anymore?

Man, that sucks.

Steadfast&Loyal

Congrats, Jonn.

however you slice it its still your blog…voice and all.

Even if we are directing fire, you are putting steel on target.

@NHSparky

I think this means you can do it to more people.

Godfrey Daniel! They did leave out cute though.

NHSparky

Yeah, I’m thinking they’ll kind of frown on that. Kinda akin to it being funny when the dog shits on your neighbors carpet, but not so funny when he does it on yours.

In any event, I’ll lace up my shoes, pull up my zipper, and avoid the type of Neanderthal commentary there that would bring discredit to Jonn and the rest of the posters.

But back here, game on, you fucking douchenozzle troll pieces of shit.

I didn’t know reknown and no account meant the same thing…
Congratulations, keep up the good work.

Oh sure, sell out to the corporate world. Become another shill of the fascist military industrial complex!! Start wallowing in the fleshpots of corporate greed!

I figured I would try out the troll bit here, first, to see how it goes, before going over there. 🙂

Nice! Congrats, Jon.

PAO Sgt

Wait, so that means I spend part of my day as a member of a distinguished, renowned and authentic military community? Wow, I just thought I was another slightly crusty and crude knuckle drager.

Good for you John! Keep the “authentic wit” coming!

NSOM

Congratulations on the excellent opportunity.

ponsdorf

NSOM #11: Please don’t encourage him! If his head gets any bigger it’ll explode! Then we’ll have to deal with the mess…

PintoNag

Congratulations, Jonn!

Oh, wait. This doesn’t mean you’re gonna start charging for pr0n, does it?

CI Roller Dude

Yeah, do you have to be careful whatthefuck you say now? What if they quoted you as saying something like: “General dipshit is a douschbag.” or something like that?
What does “renowned” mean anyway? What’s a platoon sergeant?

Hondo

CI Roller Dude: I think it means “lost his ‘nown’ and had to get a replacement professionally installed”. (smile)

Seriously, Jonn – congrats.

El Marco

yeah it IS a big deal. BI is a good no-nonsense source. Congrats! You’re buying everyone a round now, right?

PintoNag

Hey, has anybody seen Jonn? He was here just a minute ago…

headhuntersix

Congrats John,

Look forward to you making my folks famous.

AW1 Tim

Congrats, Jonn! Seriously…. as The Vice President would say, this is a big f@^%)&@ deal!

\I promise to be on my best behaviour should I get lost and wander over there.

And yeah……. watching Duff’s head explode is always a good thing. You just gotta know that somehow, someway, he’s gonna consider this a propaganda move by the Mossad using the Juice-owned “Business Insider” to further various nefarious and false-flag ops. 🙂

TopGoz

Does this mean we have to click on ads over at Business Insider too? You’re going to owe me a new mouse if this keeps up.

And so, Jonn? Now that you are now known as a “renowned” military blogger, does this mean we’re still your “dickweeds”? Just wondering, because of your quirky ways being a retired platoon sergeant and all that but, it really is just an accolade of affection that you show for us, “dickweeds”…

AW1 Tim

@21: I think now that he’s a “renowned” military blogger, maybe he’ll figure we’ve matured from dickweeds to dicks.

B Woodman

Well, congratulations Jonn.
You’re moving up in the (corporate) world. Never a bad thing when it’s doing something you love and sticking to your principles.

BCousins

I am now considering myself a renowned dickweed. Maybe next year I can get an oak leaf cluster for that prestigious award.

Congrats,Jonn.
