I was just at Walter Reed for my fourth spinal fusion (to correct an injury), which went very well. I happened to be there during the "hearings" from Monday through Friday and never once met any of these left-wing moonbats. The care I receive at WRAMC is much better than the care I received from "top" surgeons in Boston!

This article brings to light more of the truth about the conditions there. I have to admit that my room wasn't the cleanest, but I'd rather have a surgery that spares no expense than using that funding for spit-shining my room.

I haven't heard anyone suggest that we get some of the citizens who get a monthly check/housing/additional education/etc to get in these places and spend a few hours a day cleaning, painting, repairing, and "give back"?

I'm glad that care for soldiers is being addressed, but firing all those soldiers won't solve anything there. It is not like those politicians didn't have the opportunity to waltz on over to the very small post and hospital over the past decades and find out how the soldiers are being cared for. I've been going there for about 4 years now for medical care and not much has changed, so none of this is new. I say we cut spending on the social programs and improve the conditions across the board for service members.

This appears to be another way for the Left to undermine the military. It will be harder for recruiting now.
