It looks like the second unified command has jumped head-first into the blogosphere.
I am not the only one who received the e-mail from United States Joint Forces Command (you can read about their outreach here and here), but it is nice to see another major DoD command reaching out to bloggers to help tell their [...]

Campbell-Ewald, I’ve already told you that your YouTube efforts were lame. You knew that before I said anything because people all over the popular video-sharing site were blasting your efforts.

From Sunday’s paper:
It begins almost imperceptibly, one lonely posting on a blog. It says that U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan use candy to lure children so they can be used as human shields.

Sorry guys, but today I have a beef [...]

Patterico updated with a message from the CENTCOM Electronic Media Engagement Team.
Sir,
I understand you ran into a bit of difficulty with our press desk last week.
I hope we can consider that water under [...]

So last time I posted, I talked about U.S. Central Command’s not-so-good news story with Patterico. For the second time, I am disappointed in CENTCOM.
Jake Jacobsen from the Freedom Folks blog posted this comment to Patterico:
This is odd. Last week I received this email…

Those who have read my old blog know that I am a big fan of CENTCOM and their blogger engagement team. I think that they are way ahead of most of the military in terms of adoption of new media techniques.
They have some people coming to their side, but it appears that someone at U.S. [...]
