Hemingway ended “Who Murdered the Vets?” with the final questions, “Who left you there? And what’s the punishment for manslaughter now?” The first question was officially answered privately behind the closed doors of politicians. The second went unanswered. No person was ever formally charged with the neglect of the veterans. But one result of the tragedy was that the public began to demand that in the future government leaders had to be careful not to be careless with other peoples’ lives. - See more at: http://hnn.us/article/16158#sthash.4SLkwy2H.dpuf
