The Neocons were a buncha chickenhawks (mostly) and either had no clue, or didn't give a shit, about the ramifications of constant rotations into a war zone. They never looked at the troops as people, just numbers on a force strength chart.Fixerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672137568947891733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-26852876781654417422012-03-12T23:24:16.733-04:002012-03-12T23:24:16.733-04:00War, a sea of unintended consequences, and the cos...War, a sea of unintended consequences, and the cost of war by sending our forces back, and back and back again to re-deploy. <br />Our reach has exceeded our grasp, now this soldier and his family are ruined and 16 civillians in Afghanistan are dead. <br />Past time to go<br />sorry for the folks there who are in the 20th century, but <br />the cost in blood is too high for half hearted nation building. <br />We go home <br />they go back to pre-15th century<br />bad for themtomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900119600864490344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-10954504619775721462012-03-12T18:26:01.861-04:002012-03-12T18:26:01.861-04:00The hospital at Lewis (now Lewis/McChord) has alwa...The hospital at Lewis (now Lewis/McChord) has always sucked. Building a brand new building w/o new staff or attitude didn't help.<br /><br />I walked out of that hospital for the last time about 17 years ago when my daughter was taken there for a rape kit exam. When the "investigator" asked her "So, how are your grades in school?" we were done. As I led her down the hall, he shouted after me "What? I'm not finished."<br /><br />I imagine it is the same for returning vets...they seek something aside from the obvious cause to blame everything upon.Labryshttp://www.herlander-refugee.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
