The 101st "KeeBees" was originally designated as a "pro-mission" group of bloggers who supported the war efforts by trying to counter negative reports or anti-war propaganda. This is now a call to arms. Victory over Islamist terrorists is not assured in any theater of combat. It has barely been met in cyberspace. Today, we take up arms to interdict and destroy enemy propaganda on free video hosting services like YouTube. Please click here to find out how you can participate: Operation YouTube Smackdown

This sign is found on the barriers just inside the gates at Camp Fallujah. A reminder to all that go "outside the wire" not to forget their training, keep their eyes open and their blades sharpened.

Good stuff. How did you find them?
I fear that the popular perception is that all we're doing is sending more troops "to do the same thing". False, of course, but hard to combat. The newspapers do such a poor job of explaining strategy.
Have you seen the Pentagon Channel website? pentagonchannel.mil I find it invaluable. They post all of the press conferences and most are fantastic sources of information. Transcripts are here http://www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/
I found the series by accident when viewing some other videos. thought it was interesting.
I do watch the pentagon channel when I can. it has some pretty good information.
Spread the word on your site! Buy a copy! Support our troops!
A U.S. soldier recommended for the medal of honor has written a book at the war in Iraq. It is a first-hand account of the 2004 Battle of Fallujah. The American soldiers eventually won the block-by-block battle, but the cost was great. David Bellavia conveys
the intense experiences of combat, and presents well-drawn portraits of his fellow soldiers, as he captures their heroism and sacrifice.
I have read this book and it's even better than Blackhawk Down!
You can order it now:
