Before now poetry has taken notice
Of wars, and what are wars but politics
Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?
from "Build Soil"

Damn Internets

Time is growing short for us, and we're starting to pack and turn in gear in preparation for our return. (Don't worry- the blogging will continue long after our redeployment stateside. There are a lot of stories left to tell.)

As a result of some of the shuffling we've done, I've lost dependable internet acess while in Falluja. It's a frustrating situation for me, because I can write all I want and have time for, but getting the written stories onto the internet is difficult indeed.

For now- don't worry. I'm still around, and there will be more blogging to come. I just have to put up with terrible Iraqi internets.

    Looking forward to hearing the stories you didn't have time to tell... because you were busy fighting a war.
    I hope you'll find the time to post some of them at your Global Defense Group blog.

    Stay safe and focused. It ain't over till it's over.
    But you already knew that!

  19. Keep blogging, man. You are one of the best military bloggers that I have read or continue to read. I send people your way all the time. My summer school students were blown away by your writing. It was a kick in the butt for them as you are writing under extraordinary circumstances, and really all they had to worry about is whether their respective hangovers would allow them to make it to the 9 a.m. class and write coherently. Going to use your entries in the fall, too, if OK with you. Stay safe.
