For veterans, history repeats itself

Excellent Father's Day post by GreyHawk at Daily Kos. Addresses the many fathers and sons coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan with long-term traumas reminiscent of previous wars, especially Vietnam. He also quotes some of my favorite poets on this subject. GreyHawk includes an excerpt of an obscure Kipling poem that decries the sorry post-war plight of those Crimean War soldiers lionized in Alfred Lord Tennyson's, "The Charge of the Light Brigade."
