[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 1452748, member: 3371"] This is going to sound weird but here goes: [B]I don't disagree with a single post in this thread.[/B] What I have a problem with is this: We have the money to ramp up combat operations in Afghanistan, [I]knowing full well it will ramp up injuries to the troops[/I], but we don't have the money to ramp up care the vets will need as a result of those combat operations. Those troops are coming home with lifetime injuries and other problems but the budget is an annual calculation. Problem is, when they calculate [U]the cost of war[/U], these costs are usually left out of the spreadsheet. [/QUOTE]
