It makes my blood boil when Nadine or someone of her ilk dismisses the dead since 911. Since they did not appear on the evening news (hence the restrictions against showing caskets or Bush bothering to attend a single funeral), they are invisible to the likes of Nadine.

There has been no major attack since 911 (whatever happened to the Anthrax letters?) on American mainland soil because we have conveniently sent Americans over there. There are something like 250,000 military and contractors there.

Even Bush said it was a matter of fighting them over there or over here so, he chooses to send everyone over there out of the glare of the evening news.

I believe that 20-25% (maybe more) of US military will return home with PTSD. It may show up years later and it can destroy entire families along with the sufferer. I'm sure Nadine pooh-poohs that devastation as well.

She/he is a nasty piece of work. I have always known that to be the case but this goes too far.
