This a very sad story about a soldier that was diagnosed with cancer before he left to go to Iraq. The doctor told him it was just a wart that could be taken care of when he got back from the war but that was definitely not the case. Unfortunately he passed away right before doing an interview with CBS News. I placed a link to the video below but I do want to warn you that this really Hurts To Watch. Not only on a visual level but also on an emotional level. It also hurts to say that this is not the first nor the last case of soldiers being mistreated and misdiagnosed in the United States of America. The worst part is that this family will get no justice for what I consider the murder of their son, father, and Marine that gave his life, courage and bravery for this country. The United States passed a law long ago that prevents families of fallen and injured soldiers to sue for malpractice because technically they are not citizens but basically property of the U.S. Government. Could you believe that these guys have the balls to tell us to Support Our Troops?!?! I think that we should start taking that phrase literally! Look at our vets from Vietnam, Desert Storm and many others. I have personally had veterans come to my door asking for money because it vet hospitals they even make our brave soldiers pay for their own soap. Again take the phrase Support Our Troops literally because we will need to support them financially, medically, spiritually, medically, physically, and mentally. Obviously the government isnt going to do it, and its the least we can do for sending them to a war that has nothing to do with fighting for THIS country!!!!!!!!!!!
Do we really "Support Our Troops"?
