The High Cost Of War - GoFuckYourself.com

(CBS) CBS National Security Correspondent David Marin got a first-hand look at the high cost of the war with Iraq during a visit to army's Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington where some of the wounded are brought for treatment.

"This hospital is overloaded with orthopedics because of things like this; because there're so many amputees coming back from Iraq," said David Pettigrew.

Pettigrew lost his right leg when his armored vehicle was hit by a rocket propelled grenade.

"I woke up and I could look down and see, 'Wow, look, there's my left leg and my right leg went AWOL,'" he told Martin.

The leg is gone but not the pain.

"Sometimes I'll have a phantom pain thing out in my right foot," he said. "I try and try and tell myself, look you don't have a right foot, you idiot, you can't hurt because it's not there."

Pettigrew is one of more than 450 soldiers wounded since President Bush declared an end to major combat operations in Iraq. Brandon Erickson is another.

The sad thing is what was it for?

The reasons are getting more and more illusive. And they started pretty transparent.

Since I was injured in the 1st Gulf War...I have suspected that I was not the only one to be injured in war.
