Fifteen American soldiers were killed on their way back to the States for some R&R. But did you know that the reason we don't see any body bags in this war is because the government
bans it? Even thou I wasn't alive, I have memories of coffins coming home from the Vietnam War.
The article states that we can see the injured, so I have to ask why aren't we seeing them? Why haven't we seen the Prez, VP, and others hugging injured soldiers in hospitals? The only injured parties I can recall seeing during this war are the POWs.
Yesterday on the news, they did show a clip from a hospital in Iraq. One doctor (a very handsome one at that) was shown saying "All major combat operations are over" then laughing. Chances are that he's military and I wonder what's going to happen to him. But I think that action speaks volumes of what's really happening over there.
I'm not one of many who are calling for us to pull all our troops right now. We broke Iraq, we need to fix it. I do think we need to hand over the reigns of power to the UN. That won't stop all the terrorist attacks, but it might help speed the healing along. This is one fucked up situation...and damn it, the anti-war movement told the Prez so.
