1:39:00
but they docked him for the last five days of the month
1:39:03
he didn't work, because he was dead.
1:39:07
They say they're not going to leave any veterans behind,
1:39:10
but they're leaving all kinds of veterans behind.
1:39:13
To say that we're forgotten--
1:39:15
I know we're not forgotten.
1:39:16
But missed?
1:39:17
Yes.
1:39:18
Yes, you know there has been a lot of soldier
1:39:19
that have been missed, you know,
1:39:21
they've been skipped over.
1:39:23
I think they should get the proper coverage
1:39:24
that they deserve.
1:39:25
They have the death toll but they're not showing
1:39:27
the amount of people that have been injured
1:39:28
and been amputated because of the injuries.
1:39:31
Like I still feel like I have hands.
1:39:35
The pain is like--
1:39:36
my hands are being crushed in a vice.
1:39:38
But they do a lot to help it
1:39:40
and they take a lot of the edge off of it.
1:39:42
And it just makes it a lot more tolerable.
1:39:46
I was injured in late April while on patrol in Baghdad.
1:39:49
Um, could of guys come out and ambushed us.
1:39:56
I got nerve damage and stuff like that.
1:39:59
I've got a lot of pain.
1:40:00
I'm constantly in pain.
1:40:02
um-- take a lot of morphine.
1:40:05
It helps with that stuff.
1:40:09
I'm doing-- doing you know, just readjusting.
1:40:13
Getting life back on track.
1:40:17
You know what I'm saying?
1:40:20
I'm not going to do what it is I did before.
1:40:23
Um, I-- I was a republican for quite a few years.
1:40:27
And um, and for some reason they uh--
1:40:35
they conduct business in a very dishonest way.
1:40:38
I am going to be incredibly active
1:40:40
in the democratic party down
1:40:41
where I live once I get out. So..
1:40:44
I'm going to definitely do my best
1:40:46
to insure that the Democrats win control.
1:40:50
Iraq and Baghdad--
1:40:51
I didn't know any of those things.
1:40:55
And he-- we were in a hallway.
1:40:57
And in the upstairs of our house
1:40:59
and he was crying and he said
