You are right,taken for granted indeed ,Larry. We moan and groan
about the small stuff that amounts to nothing , everyday in our lives ,
only human i guess, while these guys, away from their families under
difficult conditions, face injury and death everyday.  |

The numbers of wounded are staggering. I kind of think it's the most unseen horror of war for our side, considering how many are horribly injured in permanent life changing ways. I wouldn't say it's a hidden cost of war, but it's easily overlooked.

We have amazing means to save soldiers lives these days. That also means that more of these kids will live handicapped. Support them. Get on the horn or e-mail and demand that they are remembered by our government by our Senators and Representatives. They deserve nothing less than first rate care and rehabilitation.

My buddy is in the Armys medical school program and spends time at Walter Reed, he and his buddys say that got blown WAY outta proportion. That had nothing to do with the hospital or the care the soldiers get. They get the best care in the world, dont think otherwise!
The issue was with the one of the buildings some of the out patients were staying at, not the hospital or the care the soldiers were getting. But tht building shouldnt have gotten that way i agree. But dont confuse that and think they arent getting great medical care! |

I cant speak for any possible red tape and that kind of BS he might have gone through, but i have no doubt the doctors at Walter Reed did all they could to give him the best possible care., and most advanved medical care possible.
Why do you say the Army Doctors did such a bad job? I'd be curious to know what the doctors did that was so terrible. |
