Sure, this ad might seem like a valid point. But then again, healing sick people doesn't give this country a war boner or make us feel extra manly.

I know what you're saying, "You'd think the prospect of immolated infants would be universal, be it desert or ICU." But not only is there no fiery explosion of noisy kaboom sound before an infant dies in an emergency room, but Senators on defense appropriations committees aren't allowed to wet their beaks on the means that immolated that infant in the first place. Plus: no embedded journalists in the cancer ward, either.

Sorry, I remain unmoved. We need to keep wetting our pants over every tan person that singes their groin in a failed attack while we are waging multiple ineffective, costly, and destructive wars, while not giving so much as a tinker's cuss to seriously addressing health care problems.
