This is so true, and sad. I don't care about Charlie Sheen, Lindsey Lohan, or any of the Kardashians. T nauseated me how the media gives them so much attention. My daughter was in the Army from 2005-2011 and got out in August. She's a critical care nurse and worked at the old Walter Reed. She's now a civilian doing the same thing at the new Walter Reed. The stories she's told me are heartbreaking. A little attention is given to the soldiers killed. None is given to the soldiers who are injured. Many of these soldiers, young men 19-25 years of age, are coming back with not just amputations, but loss of testicles from hidden IEDs in the ground. Some have leg amputations to the pelvis, and can never have a prosthetic.
These are the people who should be getting the attention.
