Anyone ever heard of The Duffel Blog?

Heard it was quite amusing-a military version of 'the Onion'.

It got so popular lately that it crashed earlier today:

What's funny is Gizmodo took one of their articles as real: http://gizmodo.com/5932290/us-army-changing-bayonets-for-tomahawks

Their article for the Bearded War Fighting Man was simply awesome.

I find their articles a good, funny read, I imagine they have enough vets writing on staff that they can make it somewhat real to the unknowing outsider.

Had tears in my eyes, I was laughing so hard at this one (http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/05/marine-scout-sniper-burning-cross-logo-raises-controversy/). They seem to understand General Mattis (http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/08/general-james-mattis-announced-as-next-commandant-of-marine-corps/) very well. Yeah, he's that much (http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/04/centcom-commander-general-mad-dog-mattis-set-to-retire/) of a hardass.

The Duffelblog is awesome. As an MP who has dealt with it, the article on the dependent wife not getting a salute at the gate made me cry and the beard article almost made me pee my pants. If you read the comments you'll see that a lot of people don't get the sarcasm...which often makes it better.
