On Sunday evening I opened the Marquette Web site to learn more about a post-traumatic stress disorder workshop taking place the following day in which one of my professors was to speak.

In the center of the page was a headline link and blurb regarding the workshop, as well as a corresponding photograph. The image, which supposedly resembled this workshop designed to aid in the comforting of returning veterans, was a few camouflaged paintball players huddled amongst corn stalks.

The servicemen and women who are fighting with real bullets on real battlefields were replaced by weekend warriors in a cornfield. The veritable danger and stress of warfare which has left lasting mental scars on PTSD patients was replaced by bruises from inky projectiles.

I certainly hope the idea was not to convey that war is just a game and the issues facing returning veterans simply figments of the imagination.

If Marquette truly cared it would have found an image of actual soldiers or veterans.

A picture is worth a thousand words and Marquette wrote "I do not care" 250 times for me and all of the other people who truly hold dear our American soldiers.
