Attention Washington Post Editors
And here's another one (you should honestly consider hiring this writer).
Seriously, I hope that guy is working for free...because you've got someone who is so obviously out of touch with the military writing about, well, military affairs.
Update: To address this from Arkin:
...The MilBloggers got an extra boost of attention after the news about the Army's "crackdown" on blogs, with the overheated claim that the new operations security (OPSEC) and bandwidth rules cut off soldiers from their families and restricting people's freedoms. An extra boost from whom, you ask? From the mainstream media they so seemingly despise...
We don't despise the mainstream media, Bill.
We. Just. Despise. You.

» Milblog Conf and MSM Redux from Haft of the Spear
I didn't comment directly about Arkin's post at the WaPo dogging bloggers because as the Examiner.com doppleganger to Early Warning such a tack could easily devolve into a counter-counter-post mess. (That plus I think that baseball analogy sounds suspi... [Read More]

» Re: The Exploding Baseball from MilBlogs
Arkin manages to notice Badger 6 snarking at him in that entertaining post. Of course Arkin misspells the name of our favorite milblogging public figure. (So now in the space of months, he's gotten his name, rank, and job gotten... [Read More]
