"This is not right," said Master Sgt. Ronald Jenkins, who has been ordered to
Iraq even though he has a spine problem that doctors say would be damaged
further by heavy Army protective gear. "This whole thing is about taking care of
soldiers," he said angrily. "If you are fit to fight you are fit to fight. If
you are not fit to fight, then you are not fit to fight."
As the military
scrambles to pour more soldiers into Iraq, a unit of the Army's 3rd Infantry
Division at Fort Benning, Ga., is deploying troops with serious injuries and
other medical problems, including GIs who doctors have said are medically unfit
for battle. Some are too injured to wear their body armor, according to medical
records.
I have nothing to say. People who treat other people without any regard for those people's well-being should be locked up, not running the country.
