As Iraq rears it's head out of the sand, our nation has begun to question the wisdom of fighting another war that seems to be an alley with no escape. Our sons and daughters face an enemy that has no mores when it comes to destroying a foreigner. Leaders at least are calling for silence when it comes to stories that can serve only to demoralize our armed forces and wreck havoc with their morale.
What worries me is the fact that whether we win or lose those heroes will eventually come home and look from support from their community, family and friends. When their problems become to much to handle they will turn to the Veterans Adminstration for help, sadly to find there is no help. The VA is slowly being decomisssioned and left as scrap. This year seven hospitals are being shrunk in an effort to strip them of any value and ready them for obscurity(closure).
And where are our politicians trying to decide if one of them had anything to do with 9/11 a abomination that happened two years ago and obviously was born outside this nation.
If something isn't done soon we will have healthcare workers who know nothing about the horrors of war trying to figure out why our fallen heros are drug addicts, alcoholics and homeless pity's. Instead of standing with them they will be standing away.
