Shameful treatment of wounded soldiers.
Don't know what rock I've been hiding under, but today's news of Maj. Gen. George Weightman's removal as head of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center --and why -- was the first I'd heard of the substandard care given to wounded soldiers. While Bush & Co bleat "support the troops", the ugly truth seems to be that cannon fodder is just that -- and apparently this living, breathing "fodder" isn't worth caring for with dignity, honor or even decent cleanliness.
Why? What is there but shame for a country that won't even care properly for the soldiers it sends to enforce it's will?
I think outrage is too small a word. I know I don't want this war, never have and will keep calling for it's end. But regardless of that I will demand even louder for the best possible care for those soldiers who have paid for Bush's war with their blood and bodies.
