Yeah, brain damaged troops is pretty funny, huh? You should keep in mind that it’s their sacrifice that gives you the right to make classless little jokes at their expense in the first place.
If the reports are real, then the troops will get all the sympathy they deserve.
If you haven’t noticed over the decades, the left has found countless maladies that are supposed to be aflicting the troops, but they never seem to pan out like they claim they will.
Think about it. These are the folks who dispise the troops in the field of theater, but now we’re supposed to believe they have the troops best interest at heart. Remember also, these are the same people that flock to Walter Reed to trash our troops who are wounded.
I just don’t buy into the report. There will be enough time for that if it is real.
I agree, “brain damage” is insulting due to its connotations. I would prefer the term “brain injuries” as it is more accurate and descriptive.
These guys will have a tough time - brain injuries are not externally visible and can lead to severe changes in personality and behaviour, which people often don’t have much compassion for due to its hidden nature. And the changes in personality and behaviour can be difficult for friends and loved ones to deal with, as often the sufferer can seem like a completely different person.
