That’s the sound of the gun going off when the Army leadership shot themselves in the collective foot yesterday with this brilliant decesion.

I knew this was coming, it was only a matter of time. Way to go guys, go ahead and crush the only good news coming out of Iraq, the only unbiased voice, the voice of the common Soldier, the one fighting the war, the only person that really knows whats going on in Iraq. The truth certainly is not coming from all those reporters chill’n in the IZ, drinking all night, pretending to be Edward R. Murrow, and thinking they are in the shit.

Nice job guys.

However, to quote “Serenity” - one of my favorite movies - “You can’t stop the signal.”

   Wow. They are really putting the clamps on. Too bad. Now we will no longer have a way learn the truth about what is happening. Think I’m going to believe what CNN is telling me? Not a chance.

   There will be more soldiers like myself who will remain anonymous. This won’t end Milbloggers, soldiers are known to adapt and this is just another means to do such thing.

   Wonder if the same folks who made up such a stupid rule (though OpSec is critical to our troops) are also the same ones that run the MSM? lol

   It is a balancing act, but in this case, they threw the baby out with the dishwater.
