Veterans

For all the years of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq I've wondered and wondered why there was no news coverage of the wounded. I thought maybe there was a restriction like there was on coverage of the return of the dead from the war zone. News reports said the administration requested no coverage for the protection of the families. Suddenly there's a special on CNN, and Oprah has a badly burned veteran on her show. So now I'm wondering: Why now? How would I find out?
