Chelsea24 - Don't get me wrong. War sucks, and in the end the best you get is a draw - but that's better than coming in second. I've got folk close to me there, too. It's very easy to blame one person for the horror of it all, but there's a lot of people who were involved in the decision to go there and stay there - Iraq & Afghanistan.
BSLINY - You are so right about the 30,000+ WIA. I commute between my TV home and my DC home due to work. A couple of visits to Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval can sober anyone, and there is no doubt that if the American public thought we VietVets were squirrely, wait until the PTSD issues for this latest generation of vets starts to lava to the surface in a few years. There is no doubt that a job with the V.A. has the greatest amount of job security ever, as their work load will really go off the charts.l
