Why has Bush gagged our veterans?

Question

It seems with the scandal about Bush administration of our wounded veterans at Walter Reedhospital, the Bush administration is trying to silence whistleblowers by ordering the vsoldiers at Walter Reed not to talk to reporters.

So what else is going on at that hospital that they're trying to hide?

As usual, cons are not answering the questioion. I know Bush has the authority to order soldiers not to talk.

The question is:WHY? What other abuses of our soldiers is he trying to conceal?

To "Duh"--I know what the UCMJ says--and it does not lay down a blanket prohibition against "making comments." You need to get a cllue. And you didn't answer the question.

Answer 1

as usual, the bush admin takes responsibility for nothing and blames the victims for exposing their criminal negligence and wants to punish those who spoke up and not the real criminals who chose to leave our brave vets in squalid conditions that would make you puke.

Answer 2

Apples and oranges. Soldiers are governed by a different set of laws, rights, and regulations. A commanding office most certainly can order subordinates to remain silent. Doing otherwise is insubordination of a direct order, and it's punishable.

Edit: Why? The military has ALWAYS informed its personnel to not speak to the press without authorization. This is nothing new, nor related to this particular issue.

Answer 3

As usual, a person who doesn't have a clue as to what he is saying.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice prohibits service members from making comments. This has been going on since the inception of our military.

Get a clue Homer.

Answer 4

As commander in chief, George Bush can order a member of the military to do whatever he wants them to.

Answer 5

Because Bush, and our government is corrupted. You gotta remember, Bush KNOWS Bin Laden. God only knows everything that's REALLY going on. It's scary.
