In his case it's a tragedy, add the thousands of other fucked up kids it becomes a national disgrace.
Starting with the MASH units in Korea, then medical/rescue choppers in Vietnam, to the quick evacuations from the middle east to Germany, the ability to save lives has been fantastic. But sometimes I wonder if it's the best thing. Of course body count is everything to the politicians, well at least our body count, none of them gives a shit about how many bad people we kill. Of course everyone we kill is automatically a bad person. But personally I resent the politicians using our military to bully people around the world claiming to represent me and my flag. But the politicians don't give a shit what I think either.
