Dear Mr. O' West: As you seem to believe that death should be not feared by the US military volunteer armed forces, perhaps you might comment about what the injured might have to say about such "dire matters" as their own inevitable "call to Jesus." Or whomever YOU find solace in your individualistic 'spiritual commutations' regarding death. Sick Veteran Fights for Medical Treatment Monday August 11, 2003 9:19 PM By LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - After Army Sgt. Vannessa Turner survived a still-unknown illness doctors feared would kill her, she thought her toughest battle was over. But since a military flight brought Turner home she says she's had to fight to get medical treatment and can't even get personal items returned. The homefront, she's finding, can be as daunting as the front lines in Iraq. ``It's easier to stay a soldier and be in harm's way than to come home and get care,'' said Turner, her quiet voice quaking with emotion. Arriving at her mother's home in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood last month after hospital stays in Germany and Washington, the six-year Army veteran says she was told that despite severe nerve damage in her right leg she'd have to wait until mid-October to see a doctor at the local Veterans Affairs hospital.
