Military Doing All It Can for Wounded Vets
2008-05-12 04:45:00 Ever since the Iraq war began, politicians and media elites have been using the health care of returning veterans as a campaign issue; a political football to be kicked around and fought over. And ever since those first Iraq veterans began returning from battle, those same politicians and media elites have been sounding the alarm about the ...
Respect our veterans, let them VOTE!
2008-03-19 04:38:00 Today marks the fifth anniversary of the start of the War in Iraq. More Americans have now died in Iraq that were killed by the terrorist attacks on the 11th of September, 2001. Countless more have been injured, both physically and psychologically, yet the Veterans Administration continues to dis-serve those who they are chartered expressly to aid. They don't even want to help Veterans register to vote. Something is very wrong.The VA, as a federal agency, has the discretion under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, (the so-called Motor Voter Law) to determine if it would serve as a voter registration agency, according to election law experts. The NVRA mandated that state agencies from motor vehicle departments to welfare offices offer people the chance to register to vote, while federal agencies such as the VA can opt to register voters. Why does the VA continue to function as an impediment to our veterans on issues from disability payments to voter registration? ...
The Fight Against Red Tape
2008-02-28 19:00:00 By Paul Rieckhoff @ 11:39 AM (EST) Time and time again, we’ve seen troops and veterans suffering at the hands of an inept government bureaucracy. Wounded troops have been forced to repay their enlistment bonuses. Amputees fell through the cracks at Walter Reed. And 400,000 veterans are still waiting months (and even years) for their disability ...

Poor Care Costs Veterans? Lives at Marion, IL, Veterans? Hospital
2008-01-30 23:11:00 By Paul Rieckhoff @ 5:10 PM EST Last year, “Walter Reed” became a rallying cry for the veterans’ movement. This year, it may be “Marion, Illinois.” In June 2007, a combat-disabled Vietnam veteran went to the VA hospital in Marion, IL, complaining of chest and abdominal pain. Tests quickly revealed he had suffered a ruptured spleen ...

Walter Reed Army Medical Situation in the News 2007 and on Blogs with My Th
2007-11-30 15:19:00 Walter Reed is National Army Medical Center on the east coast that takes care of soldiers. This year in 2007, it was found out that this is just awful what is actually going on with this military hospital. Like with ceiling, walls caving in plus with rats and mice running around. It is not a very sanitary place for injured people to be at along with not getting proper health care. I read stories of what some of soldiers went through at this hospital it is just awful. Everyone keeps saying how no one knew what was really going on like senators, congress, and representatives. The person that should know of everything the President of the United States did not have a clue but I think he knew about it and was a very aware of what was going on. I am sure this is not the only hospital that this is happening with in the USA. Soldiers thought being at war was hard but coming home to these hospitals it is almost as scary as fighting another battle. Why does the government not care for our mi...
A Novel Idea For Troop Support: Christmas Cards To Walter Reed
2007-11-07 21:41:00 My friend Roberta is on a hot streak for getting e-mails to me that virtually "demand" public recognition as we have here yet ANOTHER good one. This may be old news to some, but honestly, this is the first time I've seen this one.As I drive about town, I see many a car with one or more flashy variants of the yellow ribbon sticker for 'Supporting our troops' on it and begin to wonder. Do these people really support our troops? Or do they merely give them a passing thought when they see the casualty total on the Communist News Network?Well let's find out. The e-mail Roberta sent me is short and sweet, and VERY to the point:When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please consider including the following:A Recovering American soldierc/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center6900 Georgia Avenue,NWWashington ,D.C. 20307-5001If you approve of the idea, please pass it on to your e-mail list.Like I said, short, sweet and too the point.

Bush Apologizes for Poor Conditions on Visit to Walter Reed Army Hospital
2007-04-04 05:00:00 I had the great fortune of serving at Walter Reed for six months during my deployment. The staff I worked with was wonderful and to say the soldiers were inspiring would not even begin to describe the great respect I had for them (and not only the soldiers, but their families-especially the wives- who cared for the soldiers in what must have been the most painful experience in their lives). I didn't find the conditions to be as described, but I don't doubt such circumstances existed. Now, I can't imagine staff purposely wanting to harm soldiers, but if somebody is not doing their job, they should be replaced with somebody who can which is, in fact, what happened. It's really as simple as that. This weekend, I'll try to write about some of my experiences there. What a wonderful country we live in when powerful people have to answer to the people.

Walter Reed
2007-03-11 15:15:00 Another headache for the President and all of his men. For those in need of care, this controversy will pass, they will be lost in the system, the subjects of life long neglect. it is the ultimate shame of Capitalism. In Capitalism, when one can no longer contributes to the gains associated with the economy, dollar security or otherwise, they are then cast aside and viewed as a cost on the budget with no yeild to the future. Waste. Men and Woman have sacrificed their quality of life for, their eternity, and the rest of us seem to care only for a conversation. We must all YELL with one voice at the injustice we have all helped to create. This is a democracy so the word ALL is indeed meaning ALL.BrianCopyright 2006. All Rights Reserved. Brian Morrison

Walter Reed Uproar Refuels Iraq Debate
2007-03-07 06:54:01 WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats are using the uproar over Walter Reed Army Medical Center as their latest cudgel to batter President Bush for his Iraq war policies as the administration shows signs it fears political damage from the revelations. Reports of patient neglect and shoddy outpatient rooms at the hospital have brought Army brass to Capitol Hill to explain and apologize. Bush’s handling of the war has been widely unpopular with voters, and reports about Walter Reed come on the heels of his decision to send more troops to Iraq - which has also met a negative response from the public. Democrats are stepping up their anti-war rhetoric and casting Walter Reed as the latest Bush administration failure in planning for the war and other contingencies. “This is the Katrina of 2007,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., comparing the hospital scandal to the 2005 hurricane that left Gulf Coast residents stranded for days without federal assistance. Full Story Here: Walter R...

Walter Reed Commanders Admit Fault
2007-03-06 12:52:01 WASHINGTON (AP) - Flayed by lawmakers’ criticism, Army leaders said Monday they accept responsibility for substandard conditions at the service’s flagship Walter Reed Army Medical Center but also said they hadn’t known about most of the problems. Democrats and Republicans alike suggested the failings go far beyond the one hospital for wounded soldiers in Washington, and they demanded action. Military leaders - and Vice President Dick Cheney - promised they’d get it. “We can’t fail one of these soldiers or their families, not one. And we did,” said Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman, who was in charge of Walter Reed from August 2006 until he was fired last week. He added, “We did not fully recognize the frustrating bureaucratic and administrative processes some of these soldiers go through. We should have, and in this I failed.” Weightman’s comments were echoed by other top Army officials at an emotional House hearing held at the...

FIRED! Walter Reed Chief OUT?
2007-03-02 19:43:01 As my fellow “news junkies” have already learned, the Walter Reed chief, General George W. Weightman, was FIRED (!) yesterday after many allegations of abuses of our military HEROS who have given the “SEMI-ultimate sacrifice” to our country by leaving only a limb, or perhaps, TWO limbs, or millions of brain cells behind, versus paying that “Ultimate Price for Iraqi OIL freedom” President Bush is always carping about (see cute Iraqi chick with blue thumb in mind’s eye); “surfaced”, thanks to the Washington Post. After the ORIGINAL, rather EMBARRASSING story broke, sweeping changes were made at The Walter Reed Military Medical Facility. The amputees were given instructions to shut their mouths, refrain from speaking with the media, clean their rooms, and be ready for military inspection at 0700 every morning… and those frigging rooms had BETTER look GOOD. After we bloggers expressed our disdain for such conditions, the Army ...
Walter Reed Patients Told To Shut Their Mouths; Now Treated To Daily Room I
2007-03-02 19:43:01 Ah, yes… that “free speech in the military” thing rears its ugly head once again, this time, at The Walter Reed facility… From The Army Times: Walter Reed patients told to keep quiet By Kelly Kennedy - Staff writer Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center?s Medical Hold Unit say they have been told they will wake up at 6 a.m. every morning and have their rooms ready for inspection at 7 a.m., and that they must not speak to the media. ?Some soldiers believe this is a form of punishment for the trouble soldiers caused by talking to the media,? one Medical Hold Unit soldier said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. It is unusual for soldiers to have daily inspections after Basic Training. Soldiers say their sergeant major gathered troops at 6 p.m. Monday to tell them they must follow their chain of command when asking for help with their medical evaluation paperwork, or when they spot mold, mice or other problems in their quarters. …” So there...
