Did ya'll see these letters in LA Times re: Marlboro Marine?

(excerpted)

I commend Times photographer Luis Sinco for his sensitive telling of the tragedy of Marine Lance Cpl. James Blake Miller, one of many tragedies that have yet to be told about those inflicted with the invisible wounds of warfare. So much of what Sinco says about Miller needs to be understood by those in government, especially those rattling sabers now.

****

When President Bush talks about supporting the troops, I doubt he has Miller on his mind. If he did, he would not have allowed the scandal at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to occur, as well as the continuing lack of adequate healthcare for so many emotionally damaged service personnel. Bush should call Miller and apologize.

****

Sinco and Miller should go down in American history as heroes. Together, their account and memories reveal war in all its "glory." Remaining World War II veterans were mostly against this fiasco when we saw it coming. After Congress was duped into it (tell the big lie often enough), this so-called war on terror began. Detractors were deemed unpatriotic, and buzz phrases such as "cut and run" and "drive-by media" sprang up. Now the real war has begun. Our finest young people are paying the price, while their elders in Washington sleep in warm beds.

I am so glad the Times photographer felt some responsiblity for helping him.
