Cher may have been slightly misguided here, but she, unlike most Hollyweird types, has always supported the troops. I think she's just concerned about what's being (or not being) done for them after they return home. One thing that really bugs me about this war is incredible large number of troops who are maimed. It's great that our medical technology and understanding have advanced to where we can save battlefield injuries that in the past would have meant certain death, but it is still heart-breaking to see. I wonder what type of society they will create when they reach middle age.
she could give a hang about our troops...She likes the hunks in uniform...SHE FLAT OUT SAID THAT.
I am quite sure that every war since ate least WWI produced larger numbers of maimed vets than we've suffered in Iraq. No one wants any American to lose body parts, for any reason, but I am also confident that most Iraq vets who've experienced severe bodily injuries are adjusting and moving forward as well as or better than civilians who've experienced tragic accidents here at home. Just like the Vietnam vets, who while maligned as psychotic druggies after their return, actually outperformed their contemporary non veteran counterparts.
