It Says So Much About Our Military
that they can't find a way to use this man now that they've taken his body away. Apparently the DVA can't either. But that is pretty much the hallmark of this administration, no imagination, no ability to rethink or reformulate a mission, nothing allowed that is different from the image they see in their mind's eye of the virile, strong, white, handsome soldier.
That the military could not take away Ty Ziegel's spirit of Renee's love for him says so much about the character of these people, and so little about the character of those who would just leave them to draw a disability check and drink.
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and friends all thought men like this would be garlanded with flowers by grateful Iraqis and they still don't--and won't--look men like this in the eye and say, "I'm sorry I was wrong. I'm sorry you had to pay this sacrifice for my mistake."
