The US military is embracing Web 2.0 in an effort to counter the Taliban and Al Qaeda in the media. According to NPR:

Already, the USForces twitter page has been used by officials to announced the death of a U.S. soldier (from non-combat injuries) and to post such news as the killing of four militants by Afghan and coalition forces in Wardak Province. Col. Gregory Julian, public affairs officer for U.S. Forces-Afghanistan, has a Twitter page of his own as well.

Follow US Forces in Afghanistan on Twitter, friend them on Facebook, and be sure to check out "Drug Bust - Afghanistan-style" on YouTube.
