I was back at Brooke Army Medical Center this past week. My son had to have another surgery. The number of wounded in the hospital was way down from when I was there last February and March. Earlier in the year every room on the ortho ward was full or near full. This past week many were empty or only had one occupant.
I know this isn't proof of anything, but it was a relief to not see rooms full of chewed up young men.
What do you think Shifty, how do you and your son feel about this whole thing. Do you feel like the current political leadership has been doing a good job about your son and what they've asked him to do? You think we oughta keep staying this path for another 5 years, 10 years?
I personally feel like the current political and military leadership's decisions and actions have left your son out in the dark, and it saddens and angers me to see the constant volley'ing around of there mission and their lives.
I've advised a few people who were my friends not to get involved in this untill there is a redirection of and refocus of the military it's resources and it's mission by the people who are supposed to be protecting them. I'm shocked by the some of the stuff i've seen our own country do to the soldiers and their actions. That makes me question.
