"treated at one of the many OVERLOADED hospitals"

Well, that's just an outright fabricated lie.

I personally went to sick call at the clinic (not the hospital) at Balad and waited about 10 minutes before going to the treatment room. The medic saw me immediately, then the MD was there five minutes later, and I was out 10 minutes after that.

I was never in the Balad field hospital, but saw the helicopters coming in maybe five or so times a day, which wouldn't make it "overloaded".

A co-worker went to the Balad hospital several times for a persistent medical problem, and never said anything but good about the treatment he was given there (they actually did suggest he evac to Germany, but he was a civvie and declined the advice because his contract was almost over).

That's exactly how the MSM distorts the truth by using loaded adjectives. Everyone of them do it, including FOX. How can one get accurate news anymore?
