13. I didn't say "most let it ruin there lives."
Read it again. Just said that most, unlike the McCains and Powells, "saw all too clearly what war means."

As for your characterization of those who have paid the price of their service by being spiritually broken as "bums and lossers," I couldn't disagree more. They are casualties, they are our brothers, and they deserve our respect as much as your IRS agents and CPA's. Your smearing of this particular group of war vets as bums does a disservice to all who were thrown into that vicious, unjust war and hellhole, and to those who are experiencing the same trauma today, and who will come home with what is politely called PTSD.
