peek into the black hole


Just think about this.

The Veteran's Administration is paying out $500,000,000 in payments to soldiers with muscular/skeletal injuries due to carrying too-heavy equipment in the field. This number is expected to go up to over a billion dollars a year.

Just for one type of injury. The reporter identified the added weight of body armor as a primary reason for this problem. (Remember that fight?)

Let us cut the war budget, as long as we are at it.
