It's Past Time
How many wars does it take to wake up this country to the fact , American fighting men and women wounded in battle do not get the medical attention they need ? Let's do a count
1 - Korea was not a war , it was a police action , Butt , it was still a war
2 - Viet Nam was never declared a war , Butt , it was still a war
3 - The Iraq war , well , it's now a Civil War
4 - And oh yeah , how many remember the thousands of wounded from President Daddy Bush's Gulf War ?
The truth is , even though some generals are being fired , politics is going after the wrong people. Weightman had to work within a budget. He did'nt get a penny more. President Bush spends 100 BILLION DOLLARS a month on military research. So , why can't we fire Bush ? Let's start with Gates. He's the one who has no tolerance for such treatment for our wounded. He knows how much money goes into Bush's favorite political pockets.
Kiley knows the living standards for low level personnel. That's why he blew off concerns in building 18. It's that way all across this country's VA system.
When I served in the military , I had to sign a paper stating that I agreed to live in sub standard housing while living on the base. I noticed the news missed that one.
