Milblogs go silent today in protest

CJOffDuty

Many milblogs (blogs written by those serving in the US armed forces) will be silent today in protest against “an increasingly hostile environment from within the military” and in particular the “treatment of milblogger C.J. Grisham of A Soldier’s Perspective” who now needs money for his legal defense.

Freedom of speech means everyone has the right to speak their mind, not just those you agree with. I probably don’t agree with milblogs about the Afghanistan war. However I do support their right to say it.
