I'm distracted from my studies of the "good war", fought by the "Greatest Generation", as a result of studies and reports on the current misguided military excursion. I don't want to call it a war because that gives it an official status that I cannot tolerate.
Beyond the 4,000 plus soliders - men and women, so many of them teens and young adults - who have died, there are the countless thousands who are coming home not just wounded, battered, and bitter, but homicidal and suicidal. They are having flashbacks and uncontrollable impulses. They are killing wives, girlfriends, husbands, children, family members and perfect strangers. And themselves.
The untold number of suicides is a disgraceful fact being hidden by the government, the VA hospitals, the military and yes, the media.
For shame.
For the life's blood of our youth.
For the future of this country.
Won't someone have the courage to stand up and tell the truth?
