Solidarity, Iraqi 9yr old singer's Gaza tribute

Hi Jim
This isn't about the above post, but rather today's OpEd piece in the NY Times. It's written by a Marine veteran, about the denail of the Purple Heart for ptsd victims. He offers an alternative which I'm not sure I agree with. Anyway, check it out when you have a sec.
Cheers, Brian (rufusthedog on dKos.)
