The U.S. government lobotomized roughly 2,000 mentally ill veterans — and likely hundreds more — during and after World War II, according to a cache of forgotten memos, letters and government reports unearthed by The Wall Street Journal.

“They got the notion they were going to come to give me a lobotomy,” Roman Tritz, a World War II bomber pilot, told the newspaper in a report published Wednesday. “To hell with them.”

They've been lobotomizing the wrong people.  Those who need it most are still running the government in Washington. Better still, take all those lobotomized vets and send them to the capital.  They're likely to get more done, in a fairer way, then the bozos who are there now.  Absolutely Disgusting!
