Andrew Olmsted

Andrew Olmsted's blog is always interesting. Major Olmsted trains soldiers for combat deployments, and his military insights (such as this on the implications of recently-announced troop redeployments from Europe and Asia as regards deployability of forces) are always interesting. But it's not just his military commentary that is good. For example, a few of his recent posts include:

• a pointer to an interesting commentary on how "gouging" is actually the free market in action, and how it ensures that goods get to where they are needed when they are needed
• a review of Unfit for Command, the SwiftBoat Vets for Truth's indictment of John Kerry's Viet Nam war and after-war activities
• a commentary on the hidden costs of government
• a well-deserved excoriation of Kevin Drum's hypocrisy

If you don't read beyond the top few blogs in terms of traffic, you are missing most of what makes the blogosphere great.
