Army Worried by Rising Stress of Return Tours to Iraq

No one is mistaking the Bush-Cheney chickenhawks for people who give a damn, but Bush' idiotic war is taking its toll our serving troops and veterans.

From the NYT:

WASHINGTON — Army leaders are expressing increased alarm about the mental health of soldiers who would be sent back to the front again and again under plans that call for troop numbers to be sustained at high levels in Iraq for this year and beyond.

The Bush-McCain prescription:

- Stay in Iraq for decades,

- Cut and obstruct delivery of VA benefits; and

- Question the patriotism of anyone who disagrees
