Not to mentioned many of the survivors are now out on the streets, homeless, and suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental illnesses related to the war. And our gov't dosen't really seem to give a shit. They way they are neglected like this is a disgrace, and this is one reason why I would NEVER fight in a war unless our country is really in imminent danger of being taken over. Fuck the gov't and the rich elite. Let them die on the front lines or get fucked up, not "ordinary" American citizens. this.
