I don't see editorandpublisher on the excerpt list, and I don't see ellipses for the parts you pulled out, so I'm posting this...
"During his three 15-month tours in Iraq, exposure to roadside bombs and other job-related injuries caused Jason to be hospitalized several times for concussion and internal bleeding and other injuries. Recently, Jason's condition was such that the Department of Defense flew him from Iraq to Dover Air Force Base for surgery. He was released from the hospital into the loving arms of the government who sent him directly back into Iraq. He was put on active duty while he was still on a liquid diet, unable to eat solid food because of a throat hemorrhage due to a botched surgery at a military hospital.
Moonbat rhetoric aside, these incidents happen far too often. Nation-building with insufficient troops is nasty business, and we have been doing it for a long time.

If true, this is very disturbing. Prayers for the family and friends who loved him. Thirty seven is hideously young.

I refuse to accept the veracity of this version until I have both sides.

This is written by an antiwar liberal with an agenda. Could this have happened? Possibly, but I am not accepting the version of this person on its face.

If we get the socialized medicine that the Left demands, he could die of botched surgery stateside at a government hospital as a civilian.
