Iraq Vet Dies After VA Turns Its Back
I'll tell you right now.. regardless of my opinions on this Iraq war.. regardless of anyone's opinion on ANY war.. I feel that we as a country owe our eternal gratitude to ANY ONE who has served this country in any shape or form, regardless of what branch of the military they served in. We owe them all a life time of gratitude. I hold the deepest respect for any man or woman willing to lay down their life for their country. And sometimes the way we treat these fine men and women when they come back from combat.. is simply disgusting.
Found this article on the web "Young Marine Dies of PTSD - And Neglect" I know of a few young men living right here in the Ark-La-Tex who have come back from Iraq, and they may never be the same again as a result of the things they seen and done.. I hope they receive better care than this poor guy.. some of the article is below: Quote:
God Bless Our Troops !

Thanks for the post there RR. We should never forget how high the price of war really is. I know Vietnam vets who are still suffering from their experience after all these years. I'm sure this war is no different from that regard.
