Military hospitals failing systemwide!

The Washington Post reports today that, since its coverage on the horrible treatment of soldiers at Walter Reed, it has received numerous reports of horrendous conditions at military hospitals all across the country!

If you want to be cold and callous, and say that our veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are young, and should tough it out, that's bad enough. However, the conditions at these hospitals also directly affect veterans of other wars. The "greatest generation," and the Korean and Vietnam veterans, also do not deserve such terrible treatment from the government that they gave themselves to protect and defend!!!

I'm beginning to believe that this is an orchestrated movement by the corporate Bush cabal to shift veterans' care services to private corporations. "You see, the government can't handle it; we'll give it to the corporations!" Yeah, so they, too, can profit off of this disgraceful occupation for oil and money.

The Bush administration is an abject failure for 99.9% of America!!! The grounds for impeachment grow on a daily basis. Eventually, it has to reach a "breaking point," where the American people finally decide they've had enough.

However, if you get your information predominantly from cable news, you may be in trouble. Of the three major cable news outlets, only CNN mentioned Walter Reed more than Anna Nicole Smith last Friday alone. It seems that informing the public about the mistreatment of our injured veterans is less important than making sure every American knows exactly what has been happening to a woman who died a month ago.

Also from the Washington Post, the numbers of homeless veterans of our most recent wars may be significantly off.
