We are joining up with our military bloggers this week to talk about their conference which will be held in Las Vegas along with Blog World and New Media Expo. We are joined by Andi Hurly full time Mom and founder of Spouse Buzz, organizer of the Milblogging Conference, Greyhawk of the Mudville Gazette and Mrs. Greyhawk, and Bill Roggio of the Editor of the Long War Journal and President of Public Mulitmedia, Inc. We have a very full plate and our show is going to be packed with info about military blogging and about their conference taking place in Las Vegas.
UPDATE 1 - SURPRISE! Andi has pulled it off again with big names at the MilBlog Conference. Pete Geren, Secretary of the U.S. Army, and General George Casey, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, join us via phone for the Blogger's Roundtable panel.
And I hear there are more surprises ahead.
UPDATE 2- ANDI has an important note:
We've received some email from folks claiming they're going to attend the conference, but who haven't requested registration codes. Just an FYI - you can't show up on the day of and gain admittance. BWE has a registration policy and we need to comply with that. Those of you who are registered and are bringing spouses or family members who are not, they will need to register.So, if you're planning to attend but haven't requested your code and registered (free for milblog attendees), please request your code.
Can both of these statements be true?
Military contracts in the Iraq theater have cost taxpayers at least $85 billion, and when it comes to providing security, they might not be any cheaper than using military personnel, according to a report released Tuesday.
Government security contracts in the Iraq theater have cost taxpayers at least $3 billion since the war began, but offer substantial taxpayer savings, according to a report released Tuesday.They're both referring to the same report - but one comes from the AP and the other was written by a blogger - and one of them wants you to know where the rest of that $85 billion is spent.
You'll probably want more details before making up your mind, but here I'll only add two: It's not at Mudville, but the blogger is me.
A lot of anti-military people seem to be make a lot of derogatory comments against minorities too. This is an ongoing phenomenon that needs to be explored at CHUD Busters.
The New York Times highlights the brutality of the enemy on the highway between Kabul and Kandahar. What is an effective strategy to stop it?
