Remember, that this is MSNBC, a left-wing media outfit.
It's a Washington Post story that was posted earlier today.
I think it is BS myself, but we need to have some verification of the condition of this.
On the other post someone suggested perhaps the D.C. Chapter could take a look.
This has happened in previous wars. It happened to me
during Vietnam ! I was evacuated out of "Nam" April
1968 and my "head was not right!" I was Thorazined in
Japan ( Thorazine = chemical lobotomy) and was warehoused
for 9 months. I was prematurely ressigned to the west
coast ( Fort Lewis) from Vallye Forge hospital. I didn't
make it - got lost in Tucson, AZ. My sister had me readmitted.
The nurses were great...but I never saw a Dr. in Valley
Forge. Many were "anti war" cavalier Doctors who violated
their OATH !
Military medical care is great when you ARE IN the hospital
but post hospital care is often very inadequate, inconsistent, incompetent, whatever. If you posters have
not been in combat or a combat theater...shut up!
It is always the "non servers" in government that defecate
on the troops after a war, or between wars. Remember
the Veterans who marched on DC in 1933 demanding their
WWI "bonus money" only to have their shacks burnt by
General McArthur ! If you haven't read your history or
especially military/war history ! SHUT UP!!!
