I ...dude, take off my curiously anonomous comments. I had you mistaken for "mywar" by cbftw. He was censored and removed, and I thought you were him, back in action. But I did read a lot of your stuff.<BR/><BR/>Let me say that it is not the war itself that is unique in your writing; it is YOU and how YOU process. It is your writing style and inner voice that would make ANYTHING you write about interesting and nice to read. So I hope you don't think you have nothing else to say now that you are home. You could write about the war for years and not run out of material, and besides, the good old US of A has rife aplenty that I, and I'm sure many of your devotees, would love to hear your thoughts on.<BR/><BR/>You're a good guy.

I simply grew tired of the spamming links (check my infamous Rush Limbaugh post and you'll see in the upwards of ten posts or more advertising DVDs and such). A mischievous little devil keeps posting nonsense about my girlfriend, further compelling me to moderate this once and for all. I've had criticism since the start of this thing and have taken it in stride. I will let anything fly as long as it is not an attack directed at Lauren.<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to aplogize for the content of this blog. I'm not in Iraq anymore. I cannot bring anyone 'higher, beautiful truth' about subjects I've written about in the past. That's the trouble with milblogs; they have a shelf life of a deployment, then you don't have anything much to say. If you cannot accept that as I have, move on.<BR/><BR/>As for the brass yanking me aside, I've been adamantly clear about that never happening. I've never been censored and will never be. I'm out of the Army and thus out of their reach. How you reach such conclusions, I can never be sure.Alex Hortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729559701547002624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26907684.post-20443588019687024642008-05-26T19:02:00.000-05:002008-05-26T19:02:00.000-05:00"Your comment has been saved and will be visible a..."Your comment has been saved and will be visible after blog owner approval."<BR/><BR/>Didn't you resent the Army trying to stifle you, and now you do it to others? Oh, so ordinary, my friend. But wait, you did say you did it all to impress a girl. Mission Accomplished, now go home. (wait, you did) I began reading a blog by a guy in a stryker unit a couple years ago. He wrote like Steinbeck. He lifted the reader up to view the dust and blood from a higher, poetic, beautiful truth. He got yanked by the brass. Then I saw you on CNN and I thought you were the dude. Or, maybe the Army let you blog harmless drivel in place of the guy I was looking for. I'm not sure anymore, but lately you are making me think I've got the wrong one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26907684.post-65410758961614285912008-05-26T18:51:00.000-05:002008-05-26T18:51:00.000-05:00"Your comment has been saved and will be visible a..."Your comment has been saved and will be visible after blog owner approval."<BR/><BR/>Oh, getting sensitive, are we?
