No worries though -- I just didn't want anyone to think The Cookie aspires to elevating the level of discussion ... we lahks thuh gutter! :) I know — I think the post title confused him too … point there being that if the proposal does get traction, these wars are causing so much personal mental pain that EVERYONE will qualify for a Purple Heart … which may be purty and all, but is not an answer for the illnesses created by war.

But the funniest part was that he missed the whole point of your post, which was that vets with PTSD need better health care more than they need another medal. But I guess it's easier to take offense than to read an entire post and realize you're on the same side of the argument. Short attention spans will be the death of us...

You must be one tough stupid bastard. Living with a leg or an arm missing is easier than suffering the pain and anguish of the memories, the night sweats and waking up screaming that torture not only the soldier but his family.You can get a prosthesis for the arm or leg, but they don't have them for the mind. It would do you well to take your head out of your ass and find in your heart, if you have one, compassion for the people who got mentally injured in combat situations. Is your name on the Wall? No?That's too bad. Ed Dosh 59853 I don’t know who the dumb mother fucker that wrote the top article was but he should have identified himself. You must be one tough stupid bastard.
