The Orlando Sentinel has a reporter in Afghanistan that is blogging. What is interesting though is the comments being left by parents of soldiers in that region.

I am looking forward to reading this column...my son is in the 53 brigade out of Dade City and in Camp Pheonix...we have had limited contact with him and this will give me and my wife a different perspective of the situation over there...

Hi Roger, found your site - our son is serving with the 53rd near Kabul - SSG James Legg - thank goodness someone is there ensuring we get some real information - we live in Fernandina Beach and must serch the net to get any information - we'll be checking in regularly!!

Both of the commenters are looking for 'real information' and a 'different perspective'. They obviously feel that the traditional media and the military is not keeping them informed. Hopefully Roger Roy will be able to help them.
