The Huffington Post's Rachel Sklar attacks the media for their lack of coverage in Iraq. Quoting the anonymous 32-year-old blogger of Inside My Broken Skull, a veteran, Sklar rests her case. His words are below. Hopefully, they put that much more meaning to my previous post: read it and demand more.

I'm starting to feel a little burnt out by the fact that it seems that no one really cares about what is going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, except for a select few and the men and women fighting over there and their families.


Seems to me that it is becoming a more and more forgotten issue and will be that way until something horrible happens, which I pray never happens.

I don't know if the American public will ever wake up and demand action or justice, seems like everyone is too pre-occupied with Britney Spears, Starbucks closing for 2 hours and American Idol then the plight of several thousand men and women of the Armed Forces.

Sometimes it makes me want to forget about trying to make a change, but I won't stop. I'll just keep on keeping on and hope that things will change. Because if they don't, we as vets are screwed.
