Vet Blogs From Within Walter Reed
A wounded soldier is giving the world an insider’s view of life inside the Walter Reed Army Medical Center with his new blog, “This Veteran’s Life,” and the view isn’t pretty. Here’s a little taste to set the tone: “Maybe this will give me a place to scream into the void when my screams fall on deaf ears.” Wired and BoingBoing have covered his latest dispatch, about the array of psychotropic pills he has to take in order to acclimate to life at [...]
