if warriors are truly thrown at the bureaucracy, does anyone know if % of oil company profits could be diverted towards the medical treatment

since the dems are so concerned about the oil and oil needs a positive image

maybe they could instead of funding social programming for dems , divert the "sin" tax towards the military health

just a thought

Remember, that this is MSNBC, a left-wing media outfit.

five miles up the road from the White House

This kind of story is being used to present an image of uncaring Republicans.

How's this angle: This is everyone's future under Hillary Care?

Another one kristinn, same writers though.

Busy little jihadists, those two.

It beats me why anyone would post propaganda from msnbc, much less why anyone would deign to comment or argue on its merits, of which it probably has none.

The author is Dana Priest. The reporter who leaks classified material for disgruntled CIA employees, including one Mary McCarthy.

Part of the cadre making up a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy determined to bring down President Bush.

If conditions are really so dire, perhaps DC area FReepers could get together and volunteer to do a clean up weekend like people do sometimes at schools and parks.

The main DC VA hospital is in reasonably good condition. I have no idea what that place is like.

There was a nearly identical story posted yesterday, but it was related to a VA hospital, not Walter Reid. I smell a rat.

I see a lot of tangential comments, but still the question is...

Is this true or not?

I noticed that this weekend, the Old Grey Whore and the Compost has kicked-off a "poor pitiful wounded warrior" expose. The Whore had a close-up of a Sergeant with one eye missing and no patch and this morning's Compost has a closeup of two relatives looking pitiful.

The latest talking points, I see.

[Radix]

Just about every major hospital has a bug and rodent problem.

There are reasons.

It is not OK with me, but it is still simply something that is recognized by health care providers of my acquaintance.

It should be addressed, and it is, regularly.

Still, suddenly MSNBC gives a crap about our wounded troops, after their alleged coverage?

These people ought to look in a mirror.

A$$holes.
