A Seldom Noted Cost of War

Those who go fight for out land, come home, and can not fit back into the life they once had.

Here is the story of a the Marine Corps Times Marine of the Year who is now faces attempted murder charges.

A veteran recently named "Marine of the Year" for his service in Iraq was charged with attempted murder in Lawrence, Ma., after he fired a shotgun from his apartment window at a group of revelers outside a nightclub, police said. Two people, age 15 and 20, were hit by bullet fragments and suffered minor injuries.


Just another reason why Bush's war of choice in Iraq was a monumental mistake.

My aunt was wondering the other day what will become of all the Iraq war veterans.

"Do you remember all the Vietnam war vets? Remember how our government spent years denying them help for Agent Orange injuries and illnesses? Remember how many wound up homeless," I asked. "Does that answer your question?"
