When the child of an enemy combatant needs medical care, they are rushed to the US and no expense is spared at the finest children's hospitals in the country, but a serviceman/woman who is injured in combat is consigned to a moldy cubicle in Walter Reed after maybe a six month wait on a list because VA subsidies have been cut drastically?

various reports have been made about Iraqi children brought over to CHOP for shrapnel wounds and reconstructive surgery, most news agencies have numerous reports of 'feel good' stories showing how the 'US treats the children of their enemies'....

How about siting some sources on those children of ENEMY COMBATANTS.
It really wouldn't matter anyway as we pride ourselves on not targeting non combatants especially women and children.
The way our VETERANS have always been treated to me has always been criminal.
Vietnam = the government argued for years that we did nothing to cause the problems our vets were suffering then one day there was Agent Orange.
1st Gulf war=many troops complained of accelerated rate of several illnesses and the government once again denied it until the proof of the chemicals released from burning oil wells and our own troops detonating Saddam's chemical weapons.
This was done inadvertently by blowing up military targets where these weapons were secretly hidden and there by exposing anyone nearby to what ever was there.
All that was to agree that the way we treat our vets is freakin criminal.

Ummmmm....these children are just ordinary kids...where do you get the idea they are children of enemy combatants..... The treatment given our soldiers is terrible and made even worse by the fact they shouldnt have been in harms way to start with....but to claim these are the children of enemy combatants is patently false.

I don't know but my guess is that we are not getting the full story.
The way we treat our veterans and service people is pitiful and criminal even. Did you know that a lot of veterans are homeless. (11% of the homeless population)

Gee, I'm not aware of this scenario. Do you have an actual news article that can tell me more?
