The Pentagon may start giving out Purple Hearts for psychological wounds.

Now, that's all well and good. Fuck, I understand mental health issues. But, here's my question:

Is there anyone in the military who wouldn't qualify? If you are sent to Iraq or Afghanistan you are asked to kill other human beings and/or constantly worry for months at a time about getting shot or blown the fuck up.

Who wouldn't have psychological injuries? Is there some super Alpha Male out there who's going to come home and start working at the local Wal Mart as though nothing had happened?

Shit, I bet even President Bush has psychological injuries from this war at this point.

I think you got cause and effect backwards. We have a war because of President Bush's psychological injuries.
