The editors of CommandPosts bring readers interviews, excerpts, original commentary for a wide range of authors; from honored veterans and award-winning historians to bestselling novelists.

Please share your thoughts about posts you've enjoyed, suggestions for topics you'd like to see covered, and comments about the site in general.

What a great idea. It's a sharp looking website. I like the fiction suggestions.
SMITH magazine has an online website that is "the home of Six-Word Memoirs and a vibrant community of storytellers. Explore story projects, write your story & share it with friends." It's a popular place where anybody start an account and submit short stories and memoirs (really short - like six word memoirs!) Periodically, SMITH magazine will publish selected shorts in book form.
Anyway, I've often thought that a military-themed version of what SMITH magazine is doing would be an interesting project.
(disclosure: I've had a six-word "memoir" selected for one of their books, but have no other affiliation with SMITH magazine.)
