Money for Combat Wounded Found
Jerry - the American people have become outraged over the way their government treats the Iraqi war wounded at Walter Reed. The biggest problem is money. Here , we see the United States NAVY playing NASCAR. This little game requires lots of $$$$$. The NAVY feels their budget is more appropriately spent on recruitment than on combat wounded. Besides , the Iraq war is on land , not the sea. Therefore , the NAVY does'nt believe they have any wounded.
The United States ARMY does'nt want to compete with the NAVY for cannon fodder , so they put their budget on drag racing. All this money could go to the needs of the wounded. Today , Walter Reed has become a place to stick 'em , and forget 'em.
" Out of sight , out of mind "
Besides , it is much more easier to fire a general , than it is to treat the wounded.
