What We're Not Seeing

[womzilla]

We've fallen so far down the hole of public disinformation, that B.D. was the first injured soldier I've seen from Iraq.

I would say to Sanderson, no, we have not "fallen so far down the hole of public disinformation"; it is he who has not sought out injured soldiers to see. The stories and pictures of real men and women have been published. Brandon Olson is not a fictional character in a comic strip; where was Sanderson when the Washington Post published this picture in November of 2003?

And there certainly are more.
