OUR NEGLECTED AND ABANDONED VETERANS; WORRIED HAS ANOTHER BLOG.

I wasn't planning to open my new blog to visitors until I had completed culling posts from "This Is War" and posting articles I've been saving in folders. Granny's post on giving our veterans placebos (sugar pills) instead of real medication prompted me to prematurely open the other blog. I had posted on the same outrage several days ago. In the meantime I have added several posts with the true stories of a couple of those veterans, including that of the 19 yr. old marine that the media dubbed "The Marlboro Man".

I have noted that our readers appear not to have much interest in war news, nor do very many of the blogs I check out. There are just so many issues to address that it is difficult to devote much time and attention to everything.

I am going to reserve This Is War primarily to the Iraqi/ Afghanistani/ Middle East viewpoint and experiences. If anyone is interested, the url is http://this-is-war.blogspot.com . I will cull it of some posts; some will be moved to the other blog and some will be discarded. New posts will be added from my folders.

My new blog will address the war, our military, and veterans from the American viewpoint. It is a work in progress but I do have a few posts. The blog title is "Sacrificed for Empire" and the url is http://imperial-sacrifices.blogspot.com , reflecting my opinion that our government is building a world empire by sacrificing the lives and blood of the innocent.

I realize these blogs will not attract many readers, but that's ok. I record those entries because I want to. I have to. Back in December 2005, after I had asked Granny to join me on Is America Burning, we had few visitors. I found some quotes and emailed them to her. She in turn posted them to this blog. Concerning my new blogs, I repeat one of those quotes here:

"Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self."
