    Comment: God bless this healer, both for his courage and his uncommon candor in admitting his human frailties. I, too, served in Iraq, and found upon my return that I had become a gentler person, more given to tears at times than bombast or sarcasm. Thank you, Doctor, for your selfless service.

    Comment: What is with all of this sarcasm? This very thought has crossed the mind of every patriotic physician. He was tough enough to do it. Probably because of his family history of medical service. He is a hero.

    Comment: Is this about a person becoming a "hero", or is he just a shamed dad so he wanted to look tough for his kid?

    Comment: Col Casscells was born in 1955 and would have turned 18 in 1973. The war was over for American servicemen by then. So in what way did he avoid military service during the Vietnam War?
