We could all get Walter Reed caliber health care
Like nearly any decent American I am upset at the shoddy health care our government is providing to our war veterans. Obviously the DoD did a very poor job planning ahead for the increased percentage of non fatal injuries that any nominally intelligent observer could see coming. Each successive war over the past 100 years has had a lower death rate than the one before, which means more injured soldiers. It becomes clearer every day that whether or not the decision to go to war in Iraq was right or wrong the execution of that decision has been abysmal.
Another thing to take from the issues at Walter Reed is that if this is how our government takes care of war heroes how do we think they’ll take care of average citizens like you and me when we get the socialized health care that Democrats and Mitt Romney seem to favor? Lack of competition spawns problems like what we’re seeing at Walter Reed. The last thing I want is for everyone to have to suffer the same fate.
