Jul-28-2008 » Filed Under: 2/25 SBCT

According to the Washington Post the Army just shut down a blog written by a CPT with the 2-14 CAV, 2/25 SBCT. Excerpt:

Lt. Col. Steve Stover, a military spokesman, said in an e-mail that Kaboom was "deemed by the commander to be counter to good order and discipline of his unit." He added that the blog had not been registered with the military, an assertion Dennis Gallagher disputes.

Lt. G wrote in his last dispatch that all postings, except for the one about the promotion talk, had been vetted by a supervisor. On June 27, he wrote one last entry, titled "A Tactical Pause":

"I'm a soldier first, and orders are orders. So it is.
