  I've found this soldier's blog while perusing the usual sites. The man is currently serving in Iraq and is updating the blog daily. If you really want to know what's up then you need to read it, or atleast skim through it. This website only bolsters what I have posted here about the mainstream entertainment outlets, I mean, "media", and this one particular entry in particular is evidence that the media can not accurately portray how it is really like in Iraq, or any war for that matter. The particular entry I speak of can be found urlLink here. Really, do yourself a favor and read his blog.
I can't stress enough it's importance. He is a farely good writer but that does not matter, what matters is that it is of substance, raw, unedited, pure, crisp, refreshing, real, no bullshit, captivating, just the real deal, the way I like it. What a complete and utter joy to read through. I hope it makes you think twice about what our men and women do for this country. No matter how you feel about the war, whether pro or anti, you need to read this. His stories are simply awesome. I hope he will be able to put them in book form as I will sure as hell buy a copy, no make that several copies and distribute them to my family and friends.
So now you have a little something more than just what I think about the mainstream entertainment outlets, you have real evidence of their shortfalls and inabilities to accurately report on the situation. Don't just take what you see on the MEOs (mainstream entertainment outlets) with a grain of salt, take it with a dump truck load. That goes for the links I post here too. I will post more links to soldiers blogs as I come by them. This blog will now be in my links section as well, to make it easy for you to hop from site to site. I can't think of anything better than reading my blog;) and then urlLink this blog. The link is here as well: http://cbftw.blogspot.com/ Please stop by and wish he and his comrades well. More on this later. -Nick
