Read the byline (UPI) that satisfied my hunger for additional information.
All of the first hand accounts in the story don't even touch on the serious accusations being made by editorial comment. Most of the first hand accounts describe the military medical system as I have known it for the past 30 years. Priority was always given to active duty, then activated reserve, then reserve, then Guard, then retirees on a space available basis.
To those of us who know the military medical system, there is nothing in this article that even stands out as unusual.
Having said all that, I would still much rather have a military medic in time of war than a participating Blue Cross/Blue Shield HMO provider.
That's fine if the activation is for training, but when it's for real, they become active duty soliders and should be treated as such. Do you think all the Guard Divisions called up for "the duration" in WW-II were treated as second class soldiers? I very much doubt it, and if they had been, there'd have been hell to pay.
