'High blood pressure, bad backs, bum knees and other mundane health problems put three and a half times more troops on planes to hospitals in Germany or the United States than do snipers and roadside bombs, say front-line experts in Iraq '

Nice job guys, stay safe, and stretch before you exercise and watch your blood pressure.

I’m pretty sure the media a**holes and Dem legislators on photo-op mission are No.1 reason for high blood pressure.

***’High blood pressure, bad backs, bum knees and other mundane health problems***

Can anyone see future claims for VA disability? My worthless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money)parlayed a high school football knee injury into a Vietnam war injury and has been drawing VA binifits ever since. He can still work but won’t.

The military doesn’t always do great with preventative medicine. One of my sons has knees that give him trouble after jumping out of airplanes for 5 years. They swell, bruise, and lock up. simple knee braces would help but he can’t have them until his knees get worse.

"People work hard to get back. That's one of the big reasons we get so many people back," he said.

Apparently, our troops just don't appreciate the efforts of Reid, Pelosi and their ilk to surrender and bring them home.

This must mean that the MSM has run out of concocted quagmire stories. Their own petulant little way of admitting that we have achieved victory.
