Anything But Iraq

There is a rising trend of soldiers injuring themselves to get out of going back to Iraq for a second, third or fourth tour.

What was really pathetic was this comment by the chief headshrinker in the Army: "We're definitely concerned. We hope they'll talk to us rather than self-harm."

Sorry, doc. Anybody who thinks that the Army headshrinkers are truly concerned about the soldiers really does need to have their head examined. The goal of the Army psychologists is to fix the soldiers so they can then be deployed to Iraq. Any concern for the well-being of the soldiers themselves is secondary, at best.

If you doubt that, consider that the Army has already sent over 40,000 soldiers who were medically unfit to Iraq.
