It’s Blackfive’s one year blogiversary. If I was any part of his success in getting readers, then I consider it one of the greatest accomplishments of my blog.
I was the first to link to Blackfive after he sent me this story, but I almost didn’t because it was so hilarious and unbelievable I thought it might be an urban legend. If you still haven’t read it yet, go do so now. And, if you have, it’s worth revisiting.
Of course, Blackfive has done a lot of great posting since and has been a great and unique addition to the blogosphere, something we all strive to be. Here’s another great post of his with some personal signifigance to me.

Here’s to another great year, Blackfive.

God bless America.
The french story is good, but the other one, the “great post,” wow. just wow.
Excellent posts, both of them. Happy one-year, Blackfive.
One more reason Wes Clark is still sweating it…
That, and the stolen air conditioner.
A fine single malt scotch will be raised in his honor tonight at Casa del Jefe.
Thanks, Frank.
Well contrary to popular belief, the French do have a handful of effective military machines. It’s just that they and the rest of the UN is happier when we do the fighting and dying.
But an Abrams inferior to a Leclerc? Wow, what an idiot.
