When I moved to Tampa 8 and a half years ago, my wife was a VA nurse who was able to transfer to the James a Haley VA hospital in town.
That hospital is now 2 and a half times the size it was then, and the spinal cord wing alone is practically the size of the original hospital.
The costs and suffering will last decades longer than any end to these wars, predetermined or otherwise, will preclude.
It'd be nice if the media did their job, but we all know why they don't.
