Pearl Harbor Day.
“A date which will live in infamy.”
We’re told those who can’t learn from history are
doomed to repeat it.
So why do politicians mistake war
as a viable solution for disagreements?
Worse yet,
Why toast one man as a war hero
yet ignore another
whose wounds are invisible?
TBI still hurts.
TBI: Traumatic Brain Injury. Sadly it's getting more "play" in the news due to Football players who've committed murder/suicide than as a medical condition cause by head trauma. As many as 400,000 soldiers have been diagnosed with TBI after returning from war zones. The question remains how many have been kept from diagnosis and help due to military stigma?
