Sad And Disturbing Beyond Any Words

By Semperpapa

There are times we come across stories that are so horrific and disturbing that we cannot believe their veracity, once again proving that as vivid the imagination of fiction can be, it has nothing over real life.

Here is a story that appeared in Blackfive.Net and Thisainthell.us.
The story is a very hard to read and even harder to imagine. So I give you a warning about it.

Maybe it is the fact that I am a Military father, but I can clearly imagine myself in the shoes of the grieving man, as he was desperately trying to find closure for the re-opened wound. I only commend him for maintaining the composure he did and not violently lash out at those officials responsible for the incompetence at Arlington Cemetery.

And then it comes to mind that the government is responsible for this obscene mess and it comes to mind that if the government is so incapable to take good care of those who have died for the protection of the Nation, incapable to insure the honored and dignified rest of our fallen warriors, incapable to do right by the grieving families who have already lost so much, what confidence I can have for the government to take care of nationalized healthcare.

Just my thoughts! Sad thoughts!
