WATCH U.S. Sergeant: Army Tortured Me Into Giving Up Health Benefits

[Imagevision]

Sergeant Chuck Luther sat before a Congressional committee and described how he was tortured by U.S. Army officials.
Luther had been confined to a closet at Camp Taji, Iraq. He was held there for over a month, under enforced sleep deprivation, until he agreed to sign documents saying his mortar fire wounds were caused by a pre-existing condition, making him ineligible for benefits.
This is a must see! -> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joshua-kors/video-of-torture-hearing_b_781993.html

On this Veterans Day, don't let the voices of soldiers like Sgt. Luther go silent.

1. This is appalling!

2. Lay the blame squarely on Republicons promoting torture as one of their freaking Family Value

Totally corrupting our morality, and polluting our services so that now it is inflicted upon our own sons and daughters in uniform...

Ptoooey on that.

If Republicons have their way, next thing you know they will be torturing American seniors to get them to surrender their hard-earned Social Security benefits.

Ptoooey on that.
