Unlike wars and military conflicts in the past, the end of the Iraq War is marked without any American celebration. Even as recent at the formal end of the first Gulf War, official and unofficial parades, celebrations and ceremonies dotted American cities and towns, where people congratulated the returning troops and veterans.
That is not the case for the Iraq War, so it seems.

In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, January 25th, President Obama made a point to let veterans know that they “can now downloadtheir electronic medical records with a click of the mouse.”
His announcement follows “two years” of “getting rid of waste” and technological developments by his administration. But, not two days later, a groupcalled the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, or IAVA, posted a response to the President’s statement on their website, stating that the President was guilty of “mischaracterizing” the new electronic medical records system designed by the VA.
