Last week, I had a special Milblog picked out for Milblog of the Week, but due to circumstances beyond my control that fell apart. I hope to swing that next week, circumstances permitting. But for this week, I've decided to branch out a bit. Normally, I try to pick a... [Full Story]

For this week's Milblog, I've decided to hop across the pond and choose Mike "Hubby" Hubbard, a British Army Reservist currently stationed in Iraq.

The MilBlog of the week here at Wizbang is "USMC", from Live In Iraq. There's a bit of irony in this choice, as USMC tends to devote nearly his entire blog to singling out and praising others -- a father and son, both Marines, both stationed in Iraq; a sailor... [Full Story]
