I wonder if Bush even views them as human beings. It seems as if he goes through the motions publicly to show sympathy, but the reality is that his and his administration's behavior sends a frighteningly clear message: soldiers are just tools for our ends, not people. If Bush does realize that they are living, feeling human beings, that would suggest that he may be sociopathic. How else could one sit in Walter Reed and watch a man with one leg learn how to walk again, and then go on TV and talk about how it's worth the sacrafice?
