News from the fronts
Feb. 1st, 2009 06:12 amI'm a faithful reader of the Doonesbury comic online. Sure, it's tilted pretty far left and has been since Mike Doonesbury met B.D. back in the first strip, but it's funny.
The interesting thing, however, is that on the Slate page where I read the comic is a link to a military blog where soldiers and their families post called the Sandbox. There are some interesting, funny, touching and scary posts there from soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq and stateside which talk about how things look from the ground. The address is http://gocomics.typepad.com/the_sandbox/
Check it out if you haven't seen it already. I especially liked the reposting translated message from a French soldier who'd been in Afghanistan alongside an American unit.
