Our Kids coming back from Iraq are Fucked
Heard on NPR today, the commission bush threw together as a result of his failed leadership relative to Walter Reed Hospital and the treatment our kids are getting gave its initial report today. They recommended this and that as ways of improving care for our kids but they said for this to succeed WILL REQUIRE LEADERSHIP FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. In other words, our kids are fucked. Not caring for the wounded as institutional bureacracy is yet another conservative value.

2. privatize
Just wait.

VA is soooo fucked up. Its broken. Solution? Privatize.
See, gov health care is bad. Evil.
Only private enterprise knows how to run things.
(end obvious sarcasm)

It will be another republican excuse to sell out the country to corporate greed.

3. So are THEIR kids, grandkids, great-grandkids who will still be paying
the bills the leadershipshit from the White House has run up. It's expensive, doing all that damage to people. But, there's lots of profit in it.

They will give better care to the wounded when they figure out how to make that more profitable for their cronies.

Support the troops indeed! They use the troops blood to make gold then toss them aside.

4. the military doesn't care about the broken soldiers---what good are they?
They need healthy ones to toss into the meat grinder, and the rest can be damned.

5. An established legacy of the * family.
The stats I've seen regarding those who served for less than 6 months in Desert Storm are staggering.

Something that few have noticed. . .both Timothy McVeigh and the DC sniper were both Desert Storm vets. That conflict was short compared to this one.

e-gads
