 His original military blog "The National Guard Experience" was written as a means to stay in touch with family, friends and supporters while on deployment.Frustrated by a lack of media coverage on the positive accomplishments of the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan and wanting an easy way to find military blogs, Borda decided during his deployment to create an aggregator site of military-related blogs from around the world when he returned to the United States.The website launched in October 2005.
