Milblog Blackout, Twitter Digest, Pictures, and other things
Ok, well I finally posted up some pics from the last year. Not as many as I posted from my last tour, but how many different pictures of helicopters can I post anyway? I also haven’t posted any Twitter digests in a while, and I discovered I can only easily get the last month’s worth of tweets. Besides that, we are just getting ready for all the holidays and birthdays we have coming up. I still got a couple of weeks leave to go, and I plan on getting the most out of it.
Also, I would like to join the other milbloggers out there in supporting the milblog cause. I was silent on the Milblog Blackout, but not for any other reason than I was enjoying my time off, so now I will put in my two cents. Our personal freedom of speech as well as your ability to read the stories from those with “boots on the ground” is coming under attack. While I fully support the need for OPSEC, I also feel its penultimately important the we be able to tell our stories, our way, with out fear of reprisal in order to get an accurate picture of this period in history for the future as well as the present.
To that end, if you would like, here is the address to send a few bucks toward CJ Grisham’s defense fund, a quote from LaughingWolf, and the Army Times article about the situation.
Grisham Legal Fund
c/o Redstone Federal Credit Union
220 Wynn Drive
Huntsville, AL 35893Please write “Grisham Legal Fund” in the memo line if you use this option.
Milblogs have been a vital link in getting accurate news and information about the military, and military operations, to you. Today, many milblogs are gone and others are under attack from within and without. Today, you have the chance to imagine a world without milblogs, and to do something about it. Make your voice heard by writing your congressional representatives and others, and by making donations as you see fit.
The battle for freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas is fought on many fronts and in many ways. Without your help, the battle may well be lost.Mr Wolf
