Comments on: Screaming at the Radio http://iambilly.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/screaming-at-the-radio/ Musings and ramblings about the world, progressive politics, religion, history, family and (occasionally) humour.

At home, I am using my son's computer that we got him for when he goes to college. Plus, I can't listen to a computer in the car (and my tape deck doesn't work)). Oh, and welcome to my blog. Philly: Couldn't agree more. I am a disabled vet (non-combat injury) and was treated quite well in the early '90s. The bullshit spouted by the chicken-hawk Republicans about 'supporting the troops' annoys me to no end. In addition, that 4,000 figure for US combat deaths does not include seriously injured soldiers who die of their wounds after being removed from the theater. It is actually 50 to 150% higher.

In vain or not, they're not getting the help they're due. The Vets deserve better. I forget which politician said it about them but it's true, "you break 'em, you bought 'em". You send them to risk their lives and they come back hurt, they're the responsibility of this government for the rest of their lives. Counseling, prosthetics, and support if they can't work is the least that could be done, regardless of the war being just or not. How about those maimed and injured?
