An outspoken soldier who wrote one of the most brutally honest and popular blogs about Iraq has been forced to shut down his site, after criticizing his superior officers one time too often.

Some of that popularity came from LT G's taste for the absurd. He described his platoon's predilections for Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Aladdin soundtrack;  a local shiekh's love of Suzanne Sommers workout videos; and his moment of absent-mindedness, when he had to be reminded to put on pants before he headed out to the warzone.
