    More than appalling!

    Creepy, isn't it? I keep thinking of wounded, demoralized Wehrmacht soldiers being sent to the Russian Front in the last days of Nazi Germany. The U.S. Army is reduced to this? Please wake me up and assure me that this nightmare isn't happening- the Walter Reed scandal, vets neglected in other Veterans' Hospitals, and now wounded soldiers pressed back into battle to fill out "The Surge"? It isn't just the President who has betrayed the country, it's the officers who allow this to happen. "Support The Troops?" My ass.
