"I would go back to Iraq if I could."

[Ilsa]

Says this marine in a wheelchair. God bless him, but each frame of him, even with his wife (?) standing next to him, he looks depressed and angry. He doesn't look like he's a happy man. Is it because he can't go back to Iraq? I doubt it, unless he wants to go for a suicide mission.

Seriously, that's my take on his expressions and flat voice. That's what his body language is telling me. Please tell me I'm wrong after you see it.

1. You are correct.

He's pissed because he can't be there with his brothers. :shrug:

4. That's the biggest reason, as I understand it, that people want to

go back -- because of the ones they left behind.

5. Looks like he's pissed for the wrong reasons

But I guess it's easier then being pissed at being used as a prop so that more of his brothers can be sent to die in the desert!!!!!

2. The esprit de corps of wounded troops is amazing. I've seen it also. nt

3. Not to mention that Ari Fleischer couldn't even remember his name...

...on Hardball yesterday.

Randi Rhodes said today that, in the script, he was referred to as "political prop #1".
