Pressing Sick Soldiers Into Duty

I thought my readers would like to know about this story out of a Colorado paper. My grandson has a condition they started to treat before he left and now that he's in Iraq--remember it's a second time--they have no facilities to treat it.

Here is the URL for the article.

Even when we are deseparte for soldiers, there really is no excuse for this. Sick soldiers could surely be flown into Iraq later, separately from the main deployment.
