Another ugliness of Bushworld

Our administration doesn’t really give a hoot about our soldiers - after the injured are returned from the war in Iraq too many are literally kicked on post-operated knees, subject to derision, ignored or improperly treated.

"I was more worried about my son at Fort Sill than the one in Iraq."

In interviews, soldiers and parents said injured troops regularly suffered punitive treatment as malingerers, although many had joined specifically to serve in Iraq.
