I don't know exactly who's on the panel. Ithink it's reps from the Vets admin and Walter Reed. One by one a soldier and/or his wifeget up to tell their story. Dear God. It's illegal to treat aminals like that, let alone people who have gone to war for you!

1. Yes. Notice how the father with the hat and beard
said what mostly was lacking was compassion for the families?

That lack of compassion is what you get when you have a chickenhawk administration.

Very sad and telling.

3. That one 23 year old who was sent to WR and just dropped off,
and nobody picked him up. Nobody should have to endure what he went through! I'm sure not the tearful type, but my God, ............

4. I'm watching, and it's very sad (and makes me angry) listening to them.
It did bother me when that man in the cowboy hat, and the woman in the white shirt (stepmom of a soldier) said not to believe the media about the physical conditions there, because they're not true. So, tons of soldiers were lying to the reporters? The reporters are also lying? That bugged me, but overall, I'm glad that these folks are speaking up about what they are going through.

6. They can't reconcile themselves with the fact the war is phony
as is this administration. The sacrifice has been without cause. As brave as our troops may be.

7. That's the feeling I got, too. But damn it, something doesn't go away
just by denying it! But that's the Bushbot way.

I just wish they could realize that because the war is BS doesn't mean their military relative is BS. But I guess it's hard for them to separate that.
