1. There's going to be many MANYmore stories like this>>>>
though most will never get told. The social fallout from this is just beginning. It WILL be worse than in other wars, because, deep down, the people over there KNOW, that we're in the wrong; that they're being used; that the hatred for the American people, manifested in the greed and hypocracy of the scum running this government, will result in severely cut services and care.
We have truly entered the middle stages of the decline of the American dream. The final stages are on the horizon.
The tragedy is that there is almost no way to stop it.

3. That countless thousands of soldiers with post-traumatic stress syndrome
will be coming home from the Middle East, but will not receive the medical care they require should be obvious to all.

4. I actually know several
I do Tech Support at a Army hospital. The soldiers I know that have come back from there are all different then before they went. They're more quiet and hesitant. They don't say much to me except that it was bad. Most of them were Medics so I can only imagine what they saw.
