Let's hope the power of the blogosphere works even a little to help out the Sgt.

I've been so busy I never got around to throwing out a link to one of the excellent stories Blackfive posted a few days ago. How can you resist a story that starts like this...

100 Tangos 'Pining for the Fjords'

...because they're, well, dead. Flat-lined. Deceased. Fini. Whacked. Crispy. Kicked the bucket. Taking the dirt nap. Expired. Bought the farm. Bereft of life. Meeting their 72 Virginians (say hi to Jefferson for me!). Now residing in a pine condo. Bit the dust. Smoked. Croaked. Pushing up daisies. Adios, @$$holes...

Go read it - you haven't seen it prominently on the MSM. And you won't because it's a story about our guys winning a battle. God forbid we actually give them any credit for something like that, not when we can concentrate on any soldier getting hurt.

That might be because they (the MSM) are all thinking like Jon Carry. They want the Iranians as friends... from the Hot Air story:

Kerry criticized what he called the “unfortunate habit” of Americans to see the world “exclusively through an American lens.”

How could we be so plebeian as to think our country is worth any consideration at all. Matt is angry beyond words... I can't blame him.

He said this while seated next to the former CEO of one of the world’s foremost terrorist states, which as we speak is working on building nuclear weapons, bankrolling Hezbollah’s efforts to foment civil war in Lebanon and Hamas’s exterminationist jihad against Israel, and supplying Shiite militias with IEDs to kill American soldiers in Iraq.

If you aren't reading Blackfive daily, you're missing the real news of the war.

At just about the last minute, I had to pull out and missed last year's milblog conference. This year the date is fast approaching and I won't miss it this time (barring a catastrophe). Here are some of the details:

Set for May 5th, Andi has the website up and running. Check this for details as they become available.

Last Thursday, Andi had this announcement:

Some of you have already made your flight and hotel reservations. I wanted to let you know that we're very close to securing a venue and we're hoping to offer a block of rooms at the site of this year's conference. You may want to hold off on booking your hotel until I have more information, which will be very soon.

Excellent. I plan on taking the train down because I've never done it before and I think it will be fun. I need to check schedules again and make sure that works - otherwise I'll fly down.

One of the reasons I was unhappy about missing last year's conference was because this lady was making the trip. Since she's in Hawaii, I didn't know if she'd be able to make it for another get together.

Now it with a little help, maybe she can get there.

And if anyone knows of cheap airfare to Washington, D.C., let me know. I'm starting to look into making a trip out for the MilBlogging conference in May but our finances are tight right now so I'm looking for ways to a.) minimize costs and b.) raise funds to avoid having an impact on our budget.

If you can help her out - click on over and drop her a comment.

I've been remiss on all my blogging lately because things have been so busy - I need to start at least pointing to some of the great Milblog posts out there if I can't come up with some posts of my own.

Next focus - getting my act together to go to DC in May.

Sgt. Rob (formerly Drill Sgt Rob) has a request direct to you from Iraq.

Don't let him down.
