Bush is returning unrecovered Wounded Soldiers to Iraq!!!

As a veteran, the revelations at Walter Reed Army Hospital, and elsewhere, of how poorly we are treating our wounded from Iraq and Afghanistan were bad enough. If anyone deserves the very best our nation can offer, it is our military wounded, who have voluntarily sacrificed so much.

The fact that we are now returning the unrecovered wounded to Iraq... That's too much.

Apparently, to be able to provide the "troop surge" Bush has committed the Army to, they are generically downgrading the injuries of soldiers, without physicals, so they can have the bodies to send to the human meat grinder known as Iraq.


It's not bad enough that we don't take the care of our wounded that they deserve and which this Administration promised. It's not enough that we are fiscally bankrupting this nation's future. It's not enough that this is all for an unnecessary war.

No, now we're returning our own wounded back to Iraq before they recover. But, at the same time, Dick Cheney, who was a Vietnam draft-dodger, gets time off from his tough schedule for a pain in his leg?

Iraq isn't a war for the survival of the US, where we might justify the necessity of returning the wounded early, it's a war for the survival of a broken NeoCon ideology. The lives of young Americans are worth far more than that.

This IS Unforgiveable.
