I've been wondering why there is no news about the injured...makes me feel as though they're forgotten or that their sacrifice doesn't count as much as those who make "the ultimate sacrifice." Granted, I wouldn't want to embolden the enemy or do their PR work for them, but I wish there were some sort of middle ground where we could honor the injured without encouraging the enemy. Thanks for your blog.
