"Blogging is no longer worth the trouble. Everything is fine as long as the stories are happy and positive. The military wants happy stories, not honest stories. Everything must be 100% in concert with the Army spin."
Sounds like the aftermath of the Fort Hood massacre. The writer, a career NCO who went by the initials C.J., was finally done in by the Huntsville (AL) Board of Education, the lowest form of American representative government and often the most venal. The principal of the board’s Williams Middle School complained to the Army when C.J. got uppity about his children’s education and blogged about it. But, let’s face it, most independent bloggers must either remain anonymous or retire before using their real name. Free speech has never been free, unless, as C.J. says, "the stories are happy and positive."
