It just dawned upon me ...

Both political conventions have come and gone; I can't claim to have watched much of either.

Those poor patriotic shits who went to Iraq, Afghanistan, wherever, got a limb or two blown off and then came back to hospitals with mold, mice, roaches, etc.

Question:  Were they mentioned at all in the last 2 weeks, anywhere?

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

They were mentioned in Obama's speech when he talked about homeless vets, health care and benefits, and the GI Bill.

I don't remember them being mentioned by McCain.  McCain tried to bring up Walter Reed Army Medical Center visually on his backdrop, but the Republicans are so incompetent that they put up a picture of Walter Reed Middle School (in North Hollywood, CA) instead -- a school which, surely others also noticed, looked like a mansion (stupid, stupid, stupid).

Some mentions by the Dems. Zilch by the Repubs, probably on the theory that if you don't talk about them they don't exist.
