I know you support the troops. I saw your bumper sticker.

But how many know the number of dead, the number wounded. The Pentagon puts wounded at under three thousand. Of course, that doesn't count the mentally wounded, the suicides, the friendly-fire fatalities, those who died in smashed vehicles, et al. Which probably helps to explains why the Army's numbers are much higher. But you have to wonder... Andrews Airforce has received over 11,000 wounded in the past months. From where do they come? Sadly, it's no mystery.

The official policy of our blessed America is misinformation. It's for our own good. Otherwise, we might second guess our "God-given" right of war...
Old news, yeah. Of course, its easy to be glum when you have all your limbs. It's easy to be glum, when the evening news doesn't show thousands one-legged soldiers hobbling around a crowded hospital.

Dedicated to my cousin, if he doesn't mind.
