A bunch of U.S. soldiers have been posting photos of their experiences in Iraq. This stuff is far more vivid than anything you’ll see on the news. If you want to know what war looks like, these moblogs are the place to look. It’s far more raw, immediate, and real than anything I’ve seen in the mainstream media — including stuff from “embedded” reporters.

Here’s a good list of mobloggers on the front lines. One of the moblogs mentioned there, Tiredandirtysoldier, is especially good.

CAUTION: These sites often publish extremely graphic photos. Don’t go there if you are squeamish.
