Now that we've given up our youth to a meat grinder in an unjustified war in Iraq.How can they feel good about their sacrifice when it is based on a mountain of lies?What happens to their perception of reality when they return home to a government that promised to heal their wounds, only to find endless red tape to get even minimum care for their broken minds and bodies?I recently spoke with a young Marine(two tours Iraq/logistics)and he said it's too late to back out now.The whole region will explode if we do.He said the soldiers are tired and worn thin from little down time and repeated tours.His analogy is this,we hope they (our govt)packed our parachutes correctly but betting his life on it is a long shot at best.Do we not owe them better?

We do owe them better. We need a caring White House and a very caring Congress. We must never forget we voted for these people and we should remove at least the House in November. We all should feel guilty of what has happened, and I fear will continue to happen.

Bryan, I just ordered In the Valley of Elah from Netflix and look forward to seeing it. Thanks!

You're welcome Sandra,the final scene is the most powerful cinematic statement I've ever witnessed.Haunting ,is to put it mildly considering our predicament.

I guess the election and he said she said trumps the despicable way we treat our retuning Vets.America your light no longer shines here ,or across the land,we are undone.
