Are we ashamed to look at the 22,000 + crippled G.I.'s?

bush runs with legless soldier

I almost NEVER see them, like the flag draped coffins coming back in the dead of night, I do believe they HIDE THEM from us. Why? Are we ashamed of them? Are they too painful to look upon? We have to care for many of them for the rest of their lives, so we should at least look upon them.

They sacrificed much, their eyes, their organs, their limbs, their faces, their minds, their souls, their youth, their happiness.

bush always talks about sacrifice, yet he HIDES the crippled soldiers from us. I've seen them, it hurts to look at them, and it hurts to look at the man who sent them there, and who wants to send thousands more there.

My neighbor is a returning Iraqi vet, he has one arm now, and outwardly he looks alright, has a nice wife and apartment and car, but I know he will never be the same, and I know that there are some returning soldiers who aren't so lucky. Many of them say they'd go back and fight again, gladly, patriotically, and that's exactly what their commander in chief wants.

Let's not forget this ghastly sum and what it means as we mark the 3000 dead soldiers, many still live, with the mark of the beast on them. The mark that the anti christ put upon them.

3. It's bad PR for the BushCo War on Peace.

Coffins are too. Just look at the good things like your Halliburton/Exxon stock reports.

Make Believe everything is beautiful like Ma Bush does and be happy!

5. You can't see coffins but you can see a public

lynching. Your kids can be exposed for days to a public lynching but Janet Jackson's boob now, that's a no no. I don't know who is sicker -MSM or Bushco.

8. I respect their privacy

A lot of these people are still in the process of recovering physically from their wounds. Spiritually, the healing process will last their entire lives, but many of them are probably still in physical therapy. Learning to live with their disabilities is more important than becoming a public figure right now.

I have no doubt that the bush administration is doing all it can to downplay these people and keep them out of the media. I also have do doubt that when the time is right, we will hear their voices, and many will not like what they have to say.

10. For accuracy's sake

The 22,565 wounded from OIF include 12,458 Returned to Duty within 72 hrs.

So the crippled number is actually 10,107.

And dont forget the 1,084 from Afganistan (437 RTD, 647 not RTD)
