". . .My uncle suffered from PTSD after the Korean War. My brother was a Marine waiting for word from President Kennedy during the Cuban crisis. But nobody in my family had to face what Iraqi war veterans are facing. I cover the military all the time, but the reality of the wounded and maimed is hard to fathom. Because of battlefield medical miracles, soldiers are living with wounds never before imagined. Just watch "Baghdad ER" from HBO to get the message.
But something people forget are the marriages left in shambles from this war. Not just because of injuries, but because of Bush's backdoor draft, which taxes people's commitments beyond breaking. It's a horrendous breach of faith of the commander in chief to not have properly prepared for preemption. What this Administration owes to our soldiers can never be repaid. . ."
