At the end of cowboy diplomacy: how can we support our cannon fodder and shell shocked soldiers?

Question

More than one-third of Iraq war veterans have sought help for mental health problems and PTSD within a year of returning home. Nearly a dozen soldiers at Fort Carson told CBS that their cries for mental health therapy either went unanswered or they were subject to unrelenting abuse and ridicule.

Is it disrespectful to our military in Iraq to point out how they are being used by deceitful war planners and profiteers?

Answer 1

Grabs you and slaps the sh*tout of you! Don't you ever bad mouth or demean our fighting men and women! Instead of sitting there trash talking and saying crap about our soldiers. America is not perfect no country is but we try too help our soldiers its a$$holes like you that say crap that cause the problems, just like your liberal *** parents during the Vietnam war when our troops came home!

Answer 2

A good first step is by not referring to US soldiers in a derogatory and dehumanizing fashion like "cannon fodder".

Secondly, by researching your facts better.

You should provide a credible source for your numbers with a question like this.

"Nearly a dozen" is not one third of Iraq veterans.

Answer 3

and you adressing them like that isn't going to help things at all. First you worry about doing your everyday thing and not waist your time on what isn't your problem. I can't belive you feel sorry for them with the way you call them something that is used to clean the inside of a gun barrel. You seem heartless and it suprises me that you even show concern.

Answer 4

"They are being used by deceitful war planners and profiteers?" How exactly is this happening? Come on, throw me a bone, I have no idea what you are talking about here.

Answer 5

By shutting up.

Has it occurred to you that comments like yours only make these problems worse?

Of course you care nothing about the soldiers.
