A few weeks back, I stumbled on the Intel Dump weblog. Intel Dump is frequented by military vets who provide insightful discussion on current events. One poster posted about the recent allegations that the U.S. military used white phosphorous rounds as a weapon. His point was that the BBS article was slanted.

While everyone and their brother is commenting on the military these days, I find Intel Dump valuable because its content and comments are surprisingly balanced, provided by those who seem very knowledgable. It is not filled with fanatical chickenhawks, but with men and women who have been there and done that. It doesn’t veer too far in one direction or another, yet differing opinions are heard and welcomed. Above all, contributors there are not afraid to call a spade a spade, or to call out the government for boneheaded decisions when such calling out is necessary.

If you want to sort out the real issues facing our military, add Intel Dump to your bookmarks.
