Vast Outpouring of Veterans Claiming Neglect
Patriot
" ... a vast outpouring of accounts filled with emotion and anger about the mistreatment of wounded outpatients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Stories of neglect and substandard care have flooded in from soldiers, their family members, veterans, doctors and nurses working inside the system. They describe depressing living conditions for outpatients at other military bases around the country, from Fort Lewis in Washington state to Fort Dix in New Jersey. They tell stories -- their own versions, not verified -- of callous responses to combat stress and a system ill equipped to handle another generation of psychologically scarred vets." It's not just Walter Reed Where are the words to describe the feelings that have overtaken me? Rage, heartache, fury, disgust? I can't find enough powerful words to express it. Our young people have fought and given their lives and body parts for an illegal war to bring profit to those who inflict it. "Sacrifice" is the word they use, but you know they aren't sacrificing their sons and daughters, their arms and legs and comfy living conditions and their quality medical care for this effort. They are leading our young people to sacrifice for them, and those sacrifices are far more than these young people signed up for. To care for our sick and wounded is one measure of a nation and our nation has failed miserably. We have lost our place in the world as a nation that cares for the least of its citizens. From Katrina to our eldery to our soldiers, we have utterly failed. I weep for our soldiers... what our nation has become. I'm shaking with rage. I can't even think right to write a brilliant and wonderful first diary on Kos. There just aren't the words... Comment # 1 ~ tahoebasha1 ~ 01/12/2007 02:37 GMT Rusty, of course, you have, as always, summed it all up. It is all so sick and with utterly no thought to human carnage. We need to do everything in our human capacity to rid ourselves of these monstracities that deem themselves "our government." Thanks for a good article, amongst your many. Comment # 2 ~ Alma ~ 01/12/2007 03:21 GMT We need to get rid of the dictator before I go bat shit insane. My mood just goes back and forth from rage to depression, and I want it all to get stopped before the Decider decides to do more harm. I'm sure he has plenty of it planned. Comment # 3 ~ keenekarl ~ 01/13/2007 23:48 GMT Right on, Rusty! I couldn't agree more - very well said, as usual! Good to see you back here speaking the truth! Register.
