Every single American of voting age should be required to look at these pictures. <p></p><i></i>

Thanks for posting.<br><br>I don't doubt the actual numbers of wounded in KIA have been lowballed -- it's their MO.<br><br>These pictures ought to be thumbtacked to the inside eyeballs of everyone who thinks this war is justified, and a noble cause.<br><br>Too, I was struck by the thought that a lot of these guys, and increasingly women too, in addition to their physical pain are feeling guilt at making a 'mistake', getting wounded and letting-down their buddies.<br><br>Likely the Iraqi population have been inflicted with 10X as many horrid, life-threatening injuries. Another thing the MSM isn't discussing is the deliberate degradation and destruction of Iraqi hospitals and clinics, so the worst-wounded Iraqi civilians have very poor chances of survival.<br><br>A very fitting photo indeed:<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.voltairenet.org/IMG/jpg/bu390-6.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>
