Who Could Have Guessed

...that war has consequences?

Linda Bilimes andJoseph Stiglitz included the lost opportunity for wounded veterans in their 2008 "Three Trillion Dollar War" estimate.  A year earlier, Ilona Meagher cogently described the traumatic effects of war on soldiers in Moving a Nation to Care.  Both works drew on an existing body of knowledge so the answer to my question is "many folks."  

None of this mattered to the neo-con "deciders" who took this country to war in 2003.

 Fuckers all.
