| 46. There will never be an excuse good enough for this tragedy... |
|
whenever our troops present themselves for treatment, the least they should receive is an exam. on the spot..this is sad beyond words...we send them to fight, kill, be wounded or die, and still we can't treat them right if they come back and need help.. This is nothing less than shameful...I can only say, I hope he has found peace...and my profound sympathies go to his family and loved ones...wb
