David tangled with Walter Reed's image machine when he wanted to attend a ceremony for a fellow amputee, a Mexican national who was being granted U.S. citizenship by President Bush. A case worker quizzed him about what he would wear. It was summer, so David said shorts. The case manager said the media would be there and shorts were not advisable because the amputees would be seated in the front row. (Washington Post)

Perks and stardom do not come to every amputee. Sgt. David Thomas, a gunner with the Tennessee National Guard, spent his first three months at Walter Reed with no decent clothes; medics in Samarra had cut off his uniform. Heavily drugged, missing one leg and suffering from traumatic brain injury, David, 42, was finally told by a physical therapist to go to the Red Cross office, where he was given a T-shirt and sweat pants. He was awarded a Purple Heart but had no underwear.

You forgot parents, grandparents, spouses, brothers, sisters and children of more than 600,000 Iraqi killed because of a war imposed upon them.

While the war is tragic and there have been loses your numbers are way, way, off. Also not taken into consideration are the much larger number of US civilian casualties to come as a result of misguided politics and politicians.

[Oilwellian]

With all due respect, when you study what we've done to Iraq since the first Iraq war, the number of dead civilians is far more than 600,000.

If our media focused more on this particular aspect of war our troops would've been home long ago. Keep it up.

Death and selfish desires know not skin colour, ethnicity or social status. I don't even know what we're fighting for.
