Scandal Made Easy: Walter Reed


You want to find out who’s responsible you have to look at what got put into the budget for soldier care. Next to nothing? Thanks, Dubya! But I sure do support the troops though! That should be a no-brainer but we’ve over-estimated the Far Right before. It’s called putting your money where your mouth is.

Supporting the troops begins with funding their recovery when they get hurt. Plain and simple. WHAT’S IN THE BUDGET? This Truth is self-evident. You don’t send these folks into battle with the proper armor or training and you don’t take care of them properly when they get hurt but you feel you support them because you support their war, you support them dying for your country while you go about your life making gruff noises about the Left Wing Media and what not. But you know what, you’re the pansy that doesn’t support them. Their lives ain’t piss to you.

Dubya's the only guy on earth who can decide not to fund soldiers when they get hurt then act all surprised when it comes out in the wash, then announce he's gonna launch a probe that history DEMANDS he's gonna totally ignore, just like the 911 probe. See also Katrina. See also Iraq Study. Get the picture? He doesn't give a shit. Never has. Do you?

Supporting the troops, it turns out, involves a little more than beating your puffed up chest and calling people names.
