I Love War
And I mean Mmmm....MMMMMmmm do I love it. The death, the disfigurement, the despair. Just can't get enough of it. The widows and orphans running this way or that. You just can't beat it.
"Since the start of the Iraq war, there's been a raucous debate in military circles over how to handle blogs -- and the servicemembers who want to keep them. One faction sees blogs as security risks, and a collective waste of troops' time. The other (which includes top officers, like Gen. David Petraeus and Lt. Gen. William Caldwell) considers blogs to be a valuable source of information, and a way for ordinary troops to shape opinions, both at home and abroad. This 2006 report for the Joint Special Operations University, "Blogs and Military Information Strategy," offers a third approach -- co-opting bloggers, or even putting them on the payroll. "Hiring a block of bloggers to verbally attack a specific person or promote a specific message may be worth considering," write the report's co-authors, James Kinniburgh and Dororthy Denning."
Now if we can only find the people paying all these bloggers to over-estimate their own self-importance (and the importance of their profit margins) in this spinning, shitting, entropic wad of random monkey love we call the universe.
