Monday, June 30, 2008  GUEST POST: Matt Bin on "The Inconvenient
Troops."  CC HQ cub reporter Matt Bin checks in with some
thoughts.       -- Matt Bin   Alpha Male said...  This is a work
in progress Matt. The unfortunate reality is, that we have had
no reason in the past to make it a priority politically.  Today,
institutionally, we are struggling to do the right thing. As far
as I know, wounded soldiers have not yet been released from the
service for several years... To me, that is huge. To many of us,
the uniform is much more then a job, it is being a part of
something bigger (like a family). Now, I did qualify that with
"as far as I know" so yes, it is possibile that there have been
some releases. I do know personally three soldiers who have been
handicapped overseas, and are now non-deployable, however they
are still serving in uniform, and it is helping them immensly
psychologically to remain a part of the "family".  Yes, we do
have a long long way to go with the care of soldiers, not just
in war time,
