I wonder how he got to use military hospital facilities. He's just a civilian. ABC said that ABC was paying for his treatment at Bethesda, but no other civilian can get treated at Bethesda just by paying for it. When I go abroad I have to carry extra insurance just in case I need to be medevac'ed back to the U.S. in an emergency. But he got treated in Iraq (OK, I understand this one), got evac'ed with military troops on a military airlift to Landstuhl in Germany, treated at the Army hospital at Landstuhl by Army surgeons, evac'ed on a military flight to the Naval Military Hospital at Bethesda, and is currently being treated at the Naval Hospital at Bethesda by tax-paid DoD military doctors. How is this possible?

Maybe that is a very good thing, so they themselves can see how excellent our troops are cared for. They cannot later come and say he was NOT treated the same way. However, would be nice if they would expose sheehan and pink-code demonstrating against our soldiers outside a hospital for injured soldiers!??!

Hey, don't sweat. ABC is paying for it, and it could give some good press to those military institutions. Let's just hope that some good comes of it.
