Steffie, you are so right. I haven't lost any friends or family in wars, but I sure have had many who have served and are serving our country in the military who have returned wounded.

What we should be doing is building up our VA medical system instead of tearing it down, brick by brick. Our military deserves the best.

if you think about it, they killed themselves. they joined the armed forces by choice (excluding the WWII and Vietnam soldiers because of a draft). I feel no sorrow for the people who have joined the armed forces and died.

dont even jump on me for being unconsiderate. my grandfather was in WWII but lived and I used to live on an amry base in Germany for 3 years.

Don't worry yourself...the fallen would not have wanted you to feel sorrow for them.

Damn...you have a solid military background...now don't you?
