I never expected to write this: One of the best milblogs out there was launched by "Doonesbury," the comic strip that has mocked American politics for more than three decades — usually reserving its sharpest barbs for the right. The Doonesbury milblog, the Sandbox, was launched on Oct. 8 via an announcement by "Ray Hightower," a fictional noncommissioned officer who is dispatched to Iraq and observes that "the public feels increasingly disconnected from the troops in the field" and that the strip would chip in by launching a "command-wide milblog."
