He still has to go stand for 24 hours (with the hip injury AND the PTSD) doing sentry duty. Why in the hell does it only take one soldier to do that? Why can't four soldiers do it? Or 6?
I just don't like the idea of our soldiers being doped up to fight this stupid-*ss*d war. It isn't even a war, pardon me, it's a lie.
Whew.. I didn't see that one coming! Must be due to my minimal intake of caffeine.
