A MILBLOG
mudminilogo1.jpg
The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

More from Americans in Iraq

Greyhawk

I Should Have Stayed Home...
Featurring TJ and BC, who describe themselves:

Welcome to the latest Iraq blog! Your hosts are two Americans working in Baghdad - in what capacity we'd rather not say.

Our professional focus is on the security of the country, and while we'll definitely be staying inside the lines of what's ok to talk about, we hope that we can bring some fresh insight into the development of Iraq, the politics behind it (on both sides - US and Iraqi) and the success (or other) of the counterinsurgency effort.

Their entire archive can be viewd here, and you'll find it more than worth your time. These guys work up close with the Iraqis, and get around a lot more than just about anyone in this country.

Ryan blogs at Cigars in the Sand:

Farmer by genetics, Lawyer by training, currently "vacationing" in Iraq and advising the Iraqi government on border security issues. Before moving to Baghdad, I served in the White House as Deputy Counsel for the Homeland Security Council. I can be reached at opusxryanathotmaildotcom.

Ryan gets around quite a bit too. Lots of must-read stuff.

There's always great stuff at The Questing Cat
And the best stories of combat ops in Fallujah come from Red Six

All these guys are doing more exciting stuff than I am. Don't miss 'em.

By the way, I provided a long list of deployed MilBloggers this past Christmas. A few of them are home now, and you'll find some great stories on readjusting to "the World" from blogs like In Iraq for 365. (Guess it's day 366+ for him now.)
