Some want to cast blame. For me our returning wounded are beyond political parties. We did not do our best in WW1 WW2 and the Vietnam war, we should have learned lessons so that these troops are getting the care they deserve and earned serving our country. imho
Welcome to the Army, whiner.
I don't know what Army he thought he was joining, but that's the way it's been since time immemorial....
Government health care anyone?
I blame Clinton era military restructuring. WHen I was at Ft Bliss the wait lines were long and you had to go through a specific case worker and the military insurance provider Tri-Care, a ridiculous thing when you consider the fact the non-war injured active duty soldiers did not have to go through the same process.
To try and place blame fully on the President is ridiculous, obviously the administration should accept partial blame but the fact is these rules were set in place by Clinton not Bush when he did his slight of hand by firing all those civilian workers and he removed the old medical system.
I think the Kerry campaign just found their next "military" spokespeople.
Why isn't he asked what he attempted to do to correct the identified problems.
Looks to me like he might be part of the problem.
SHUT UP
Let's see.....our soldiers are left to languish for weeks and months because of fedgov incompetency but illegals (who probably despise this country) can count on prompt medical attention paid for by the taxpayers....isn't there something desperately wrong with this picture?
They stay until well enough to return to duty and be reassigned back to their unit. However long it takes. There is no such thing as limited duty status in this situation.
Unfortunately for the guard guys, they bitch because they believe their place is at home, when in fact they are still on active duty.
Until they are released from active, or redeployed back to their unit, there is no place for them to go.
This problem has been around since the sixties. This is why citizen soldiers get a bad rap from the regular enlisted.
Methinks they bitch far too much!
Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking the guard and reserve, but they need to understand that they are in the Army now. Or where ever. They are no longer home deployed until their unit is relieved. I suppose they could be put on unpaid leave, but that opens up another can of worms.
Bureaucrats worried about their jobs more than about their patients...
NO common sense...afraid to take inititive and do the right thing and to hell with the generals..
the men come first....
imo
Sounds like business as usual. Stand by to stand by.
