24. You've mentioned Sgt Mike before. I recall Ira Hayes also there that day
Didn't he die in a ditch--a tormented drunk?

Where are the sympathetic Americans then? When veterans experience post-traumatic stress syndrome, who has sympathy then? The VA hospital? Where recently disabled and discharged Gulf War 2 vets can't get appointments for months? Where they will receive little or no treatment for depleted uranium contamination?

It's easy to say you have sympathy for GIs. Talk is cheap.

Rather than worrying about which of us has the most tender heart and can cry the biggest crocodile tears, let's do something constructive.

Bring the troops home. End this pathetic occupation. That is how we support them.
