Some of the following may not be blogs in the traditional sense anymore, having evolved into “New Media” I don’t have an expression to call them, so I’m calling them blogs. I am not considering my own projects, either, Terrorist Death Watch and America’s North Shore Journal. These are unrelated, and my selection was unsought.
- Blackfive: One of the first milblogs, military blogs. Matt and his co-bloggers have the War covered from multiple angles, all oriented to the grunt on the ground.
- The Long War Journal: Bill Roggio has been a part of creating what is perhaps the top “New Media” site about the War on Terror. It used to be a blog. Now it’s YOUR source for reports from all over the globe with on-target analysis.
- Milblogs: This is what happens when a bunch of milbloggers get together. They put up a joint site. Lots of on-the-spot coverage, and commentary from those who are there, doing that.
- Counterterrorism Blog: Another “New Media” creation, full of intelligence as well as reporting. These guys let a little light into the black world of intelligence gathering.
- OpFor: “New Media” again, with a varied mix of posters. Oriented towards officers and the issues they face.
- Badgers Forward: On the ground, in the dust and mud. He’s been there, done that, went back and did it again. Real stories from real ops.
- Grim’s Hall: Another real combat vet.
- Stryker News: “New Media”. Set up to follow the various Stryker equipped units at war. Lots that you won’t find anyplace else.
- Michael Yon: On the ground reporting. Good pics, great stories.
- Michael Totten: More on the ground reporting. Including Lebanon!
There are many more blogs with great information about the War. These ten are just a start.

I’m pleased to see that I already have 5 of these on my subscription list. But don’t forget your own blog, because none of them cover the awards for heroism like you do.
OK, the Babes are a nice touch, too
