Because of the advances in both combat medicine and the little bit of equipment soldiers have, this war is seeing more amputations and brain injuries than ever before - in previous wars, those soldiers would have died... making the fact that they're alive the good news.
It's no secret that Bush's dedication to the troops is only speech-deep - that's the bad, though not surprising, news. Literally adding insult to injury, these horribly wounded men and women are being neglected at Walter Reed Medical Center where mold, cockroaches, missing paperwork (and therefore the opportunity to deny services to a vet) and tons of bureaucratic bullshit are part of the status quo. Read the linked piece - it'll make you sick to your stomach.
Remind me again how this is supporting our soldiers?
Yet again: the only way to support our soldiers is to oppose the war.
