Uncounted Costs

Not included in the usual bean-counting of war's costs are the costs of assembling and training teams of psycho killers, who at some point have to return home.  Not all of their victims are Muslims.

Good article.

And, no, it's not just one "bad apple," it's the whole fucking barrel.

No doubt about it. The 99% of vets who return home and lead normal lives are simply in denial.

99% my ass.  If you took the trouble to read the article, it was the unit that was fucked up, not just one guy.

The article made it pretty clear there's a problem and that it's not a problem of one or two per cent.  But if you want to stick your head in the sand, that's OK with me too.  Those guys aren't MY problem.

Uhh, that was a joke, BT.  I know where the Taliban are, but thanks for the information anyway.
