Today is supposed to be a bad day for the Army during hearings in Congress over the Walter Reed Hospital conditions.
Esteemed and respected Congressional members are expected to severly grill Army personel during these hearings, even launch personel attacks against various Army brass.
Hmph.
If any of those Army testifiers had the cajones of a flea, they would counter with the fact that those very same esteemed Congressional folks cut sixteen billion dollars out of the budget for our veterans last year. How much maintenance and upkeep could have been done with that sixteen billion dollars?
But they have their military career and retirement to worry about, so don't expect it.

It is not a bad day for the Army when a few generals get grilled. If they are smart, (many of them are) they will use this opportunity to get the funding they need to fix things.
It was a bad day for the army every day while this situation persisted without any senior leader even noticing. It was a further bad day when the Army had to rely upon the self-serving media to show them they had a problem instead of finding it and correcting it themselves.

Maybe so. However, I suspect they knew, but didn't have the funds to do anything about it, particularily on a national scale.
But, gad, Walter Reed? The showcase? It should'a been a shining example.
The more gov't money goes into the medical profession, the more the quality level drops, just like in education.
Makes you realize how desperately we need HITLERyCare, doesn't it?
Yes, life will be so much better with Der Schtaat deciding who lives and dies in the hospitals and doctors' offices - AHEM!
