Your cousin has my best prayers and wishes. I find it shameful that this country can send its soldiers abroad, then to have the unmitigated gall to refuse them the proper treatment; which sometimes might be long-term in certain cases. These brave soldiers voluntarily enlisted in our armed forces to ensure the freedoms we all enjoy and now to hopefully bring those freedoms to others whom have never known such freedoms. This attitude is nothing short of disgraceful! In my humble opinion; we don't do nearly enough to recognize the commitment of our troops. We spend countless hours reading and listening to political op-eds give us their individual opinions, but all the while another soldier is not getting what help he (or she) may need. Personally, I can't think of a more deserving group of people than our military personnel who need our attention; Yet sadly, this is not so. The congressional members whom questioned Our Commander in the Middle East were pampered to the utmost. Where do our priorities lay these days in America?
