The blog entitled The Foxhole Philosopher contains a header that clearly states what its purpose is. “A forum for thoughtful discussion of practical issues facing the military, civil, and political world today. None of the Opinions expressed here are a reflection of United States, her Military, or any other organization other than those of the author.” It is written in the first person, making the tone very informal but yet professional. Its audience seems to be for an older crowd, judging on the word choice and topic of interest. The latest blog entry discusses deployment to the military in a time of war. His argument states that some soldiers leave while the world around them is still going on while they are away, and thus they do not have anything familiar to come back too. He is not optimistic about the future of the military because of this issue.
For the most part, this blog was very intriguing. I’ve never read about an opinion first hand from an ex soldier about what the effects on the war does to people. It kind of felt like I was reading this blog from right out of a novel; and if I could, I would continue on to the next chapter to see what else this author has to say.
