Deployed Blogger Picks Up Where Bad Voodoo Bloggers Left Off
When I was deployed to Iraq, we had several bloggers in my Platoon. Some wrote more often than others and some stopped blogging altogether. Several of us like Toby Nunn also helped produce Bad Voodoo`s War with Deborah Scranton which aired on April 1st while we were still running Convoy Security missions throughout Iraq. If you were a fan of Convoy Security, you won`t hear much from the Bad Voodoo bloggers now that we`ve returned home. But now another military blog I recently discovered, is filling that void. Read more here.
