1. No one ever discusses our wounded

The media just doesn't give a shit, and therefore neither does the rest of America

2. I wonder how many have been praying for their "million dollar wound"

A wound just bad enough to send them home and be eligible for disability but still able to function. If Iraq is anything like Vietnam I'm sure a lot are quite happy with this type of attacks.

5. Pull out now

And how many more American soldiers have to be wounded or die so that we can “clean up our mess over there”? – Pull out now.
