Sounds like you, yourself, are pretty "piss poor American".
A cavalier and thoroughly brutish attitude toward someone else's body.
The Iraq war has the distinction of having the highest wounded-to-dead
ratio of any war in history. More than 40,000 troops have been wounded
there, as of February 23, 2007

300,000 US troops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are suffering from
major depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. This, according to a
new study by the RAND Corporation.

I have looked for numbers for disabled Iraq war vets but was unable to
find them. Probably not a favorite discussion topic. Maybe you can find
them.
