That's nice. But how come America only hears about wounded soldiers when a reporter gets hurt? While our 'news' shows and 'news'papers put celebrities, sex scandals, and sports at the top of the hour and on the front page-the American people remain blissfully unaware of just how big a price our military men & women are paying for 'Bush's Folly'. Suicides, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and broken families among our troops and veterans is at an all time high. Multiple & extended combat tours have left our military in crisis. Tens of thousands of soldiers are right now writhering in pain, fighting to recover from horrendous burns and head injuries, to regain mobility after the loss of limbs. And they remain invisible to the country they serve. A country more concerned with the price of gas than the price of blood. We don't deserve their sacrifice.
