What can I say but a picture is worth a 1000 (CENSORED)
The photograph above is by American photographer Nina Berman.
Walking around town, my kids school, Wegmans, I hear people say that were are over there to protect our freedoms. I can't help but think of this photograph and the news from Walter Reed Army Medical Center lately. These soldiers coming home after protecting our freedoms, including the 1st Amendment, only to be told to keep your mouth shut on American soil. Of course they will deny a gag order. Do you think they would admit it? That would ruin the illusion.
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) "Any attempt to silence the very soldiers who brought their own mistreatment to light, or to hide ongoing abuses from the public eye — if such attempts are occurring — would be morally reprehensible......It would be an abdication," she continues, "of one of the most fundamental responsibilities of our government."
And to you, Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman, go fuck yourself you motherfucking piece of shit.
I hear Starbucks is hiring.

That photo is heartbreaking. It's haunting. Send it to the D&C to publish if they dare. Wow. I had a freedom of information interview at the paper today but the weather cancelled my son's school, so it's to go on tomorrow instead. I continue to believe speaking up is the best way to advocate for our soldiers and to exercise true patriotism.
That photo made me cry. I would love to post that. You know how I feel about the V.A. These soliders would be better off with a medicaid card than a V. A. card. I believe every single report about this abuse at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Bastards!!!
