tragic regardless of your viewpoint
Tuesday, February 7, 2006
This is from the World Socialist website but it's terrible regardless.
One of the terrible legacies of the criminal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is the number of maimed, sick or traumatized former US soldiers—many of them barely in their twenties—who will require medical assistance for the rest of their lives. For political reasons, the scope of the tragedy is barely being reported despite the impact it is having on a significant layer of young men and women, their families and communities.
Even worse, however, is the cost to the Afghani and Iraqi societies.
