Believe me,,,it's not just the Reed Hospital, most of the Military Hospitals were constructed back in the 40's and 50's and contain all the materials that today are not allowed to be used. Asbestos etc. Most of them have had upgrades but, for the most part are still in bad shape. The VA hospitals are old and worn out and we keep patching them rather than replace them. I as a retired Vet, have been in at least 7 VA Hospitals and all of them are in pretty bad shape. I would say only that congress needs to allocate more money so that these outdated hospitals can be replaced. And while their at it, they need to replace J. Nicholson, the yes man to Pres Bush who is in charge of the VA money. I won't blame Bush because this started long before he became Prez and long before Clinton became Prez. The fact is, they won't allocate money to build new hospitals. If we just took 5 billion of the 85 more billion they want to continue in Iraq, we could build several new VA Hospitals. No Priority.

Mad, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. Military medical care has always been substandard. The Vetran's Administration has been actively involved in the systematic "Murder by Neglect" of vetrans since perhaps the Korean War: They certainly put the practice in high gear with our Vietnam Vets. The VA needs to be demolished and rebuilt from the ground up. This latest tragedy may be a chance to "Get 'ER Done"

sorry socialists (and communists by extension), but the government should never be in charge of healthcare. Walter reed is exactly what you can expect should healthcare ever become socialized, prepare to be like cuba.

to everybody it will be and experience diverse because of tactile senses and how you contact your self, besides the undeniable fact that, once you masturbate you're lacking particular stimuli that make your orgasm more suitable severe. the feeling of a woman below or on genuine of you moaning, panting and raking you with her nails, the feeling and sound of her butt smacking your abdomen, the scent of her sweat and pheromones are all issues that won't be able to be replicated for the duration of self service. sure, you are able to watch a porn flick even as jerking it, besides the undeniable fact that it likely gained't evaluate to a real lady lower than you. I particularly have continuously c*m my toughest, loudest and contained in the most volume even as my spouse and that i have sex VS self service.

"As you know, you go to war with the Army you have. They're not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time."
-- Fmr. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld,
There is no greater injustice to our soldiers than valor, forgotten. These men and women are heroes, yet this Administration treats them like POWs.
For shame...

Nothing suprises me anymore . Poor commander that just resigned was a scapegoat. It just goes to show the government believes in the old saying that "Good soldiers never die , they just go away"

It's sad but it doesn't surprise me one bit. After all, I don't expect any government run hospital (or any other government run "business") to be any better.
How many PRIVATE hospitals have you seen in this deplorable condition? None.
What a way to give thanks to those who were injured because they fought in a useless, worthless war.

I think it's typical of politics, it's not about whats important or what needs to done, it's about where can the focus be put so that you can blame your opposition for it!
