The Null Device blog: Now that's what I call a warblog

Blogging, it has been claimed, was born on September 11, 2001, in a burst of grief and resolute patriotism. Now blogs have gone to war. The US Army unit responsible for the America's Army game has now launched an actual real-life warblog. Not one of those chickenhawk letters-column warblogs, but one written by "Scorpion", a pseudonymous US soldier based in 'stan, describing military life there. As you might expect from a recruitment tool, it's heavily vetted, and has a somewhat Spielbergesque sentimentality about it.

Given that the Internet was outlawed in Iraq, probably not.

The apologies ought to go to Joe Jackson, actually.

Oh, I'm just an apologist at heart. Apologies to Joe Jackson, and to the other audiophiles trolling the null feedback!

That's OK. I get my new wave songwriters mixed up too sometimes...
