In recent posts, Brothers describes his first foot and vehicle-mounted patrols. In the latter, he disperses "seven or eight teenage boys" throwing rocks by running towards them and reflects on becoming part of the "cliché" of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Interestingly, Brothers also feels it is necessary to write a post about Operational Security because he is aware of the experience of Captain Matthew Gallagher. The US Army Officer wrote Kaboom: A Soldier’s War Journal, an Iraq war blog which was ostensibly closed down by Gallagher’s superiors because he did not follow the ‘normal vetting channels’ for blog posts.
