I was watching a documentary on Eleanor Roosevelt last night and there was a bit where it was revealed that during WWII, she would visit wounded soldiers: The men loved her. Admiral Halsey, commander of the Pacific fleet had opposed her visit but he changed his mind. "I marveled at her hardihood, both physical and mental," he reported. She saw patients who were grievously wounded. I marveled most at their expressions as she leaned over them. It was a sight I will never forget. She alone accomplished more good than any other person who passed through my area." The suffering of the men," Eleanor said, ""left a mark from which I think I shall never be free. I wonder if Laura Bush does anything similar or does she remain untouched by all the trauma men and women are going through because of her husband?
