In light of current events, the "Blogger Intervention" with Michael Yon seriously needs to be revisited.  Several Military Bloggers took it upon themselves to correct many of Michael's assertions.  It seems that in the end, Michael has been proven correct.

As have I.  I stated that they had jumped the shark in the effort and this meltdown (including statements made by McChrystal in the article) proves my point.

Have Military Bloggers with access to decision makers, are cozy with the Defense Industry and parrot the Pentagon line Bloggers or are they simply well connected journalist now?

I'm not sure but here's a history of the controversy between Yon, the Military Blogging community and General McChrystal.

These guys have some explaining to do.
