How about love letters to our soldiers?

These kids were sent to an unnecessary war, and now getting care for all of their injuries is next to impossible. The "system" like everything else associated with this administration was not prepared for the influx of returning soldiers.

How about the laundry list of political hacks, leaders, step up and resolve the problems of outpatient care for the true patriots.

General Kiley should live with the injured troops

Maybe instead of jogging through the campus, he should have to live there.

I just hope the soldiers receive help after the camera lights fade to black.

Shake up at Walter Reed Hospital

Defense Secretary Robert Gates is making changes after the despicable conditions were reported at Walter Reed Hospital.
Finally, an adult has surfaced in the Shrub White House. Judging from Gates' tone in his press conference, I think we can expect more changes to come.

I hope the Lieberman endorsed Gen. Kevin Kiley is the next to tender his resignation. He was the jackass, who actually blamed the recovering soldiers for the conditions.

What is sad, the treatment of the injured soldiers, is further evidence, this administration was not prepared for all aspects of this war. I guess they thought these kids would just be killed.

Supporting the troops is more than riding around with a yellow ribbon on your SUV.

Call your Congressperson and demand action.

Of Course Lieberman likes Kiley

Senate to investigate Walter Reed Hospital

It's just wonderful that the Senate will investigate the misdeeds at Walter Reed Hospital. It would have never happened in the Republican controlled Congress.

The horrendous conditions didn't start in December 2006. When Hillary and McCain were at the hospital for photo ops, didn't they slow down enough to look around?

After the media attention surrounding the hearings, will someone come with a plan to fix the problems and implement it?

Let's hope so.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Freedom of the Press

Aretha Franklin demands it in her now famous anthem.The founding fathers of our wonderful country, thought enough of the press to name them in the FIRST amendment. The Press clearly earned it during this period. Now I am not so sure.

Oh how I wish the MSM held themselves with the same regard. The Anna Nicole Smith horror story is the lead story or worst breaking news. MSNBC is covering the story live. This does not warrant a scroll across the bottom of the TV screen. The MSM has the nerve to challenge the ethics of bloggers. Please.

Maybe i'm missing something. The horrendous conditions that our returning soldiers land in at Walter Reed Hospital is discussed AFTER the latest news of Ms. Smith's rotting corpse. The coverage dishonors our troops, the viewing public and the now dead Anna Nicole. I guess if all of the soldiers had blonde hair and big tits, their coverage would warrant the lead position.

The media has made this story a story. Disgraceful.

Hotel California Walter Reed Hospital

Sigh.

Our fellow citizens who made the fatal mistake of signing up for the military got stuck in Iraq. Many actually live through the experience. Others sustain injuries. Where do they end up? In maze of bureaucracy brought to you by our own Veteran's Administration.

Suffering a work related injury is very challenging under the best of circumstances. The process is simple. File a claim, its verified, benefits are paid. These soldiers sustained work related injuries. For catastrophic injuries we assign a field nurse to guide the injured and their family through the process. Why can't they assign a nurse or an administrator who could ease the process?

We could use less rhetoric and more action from this administration. Just when I think these bastards have reached an all time low, I read the news.
