Bush's Continued Shameful Treatment of Wounded Veterans
 
I am beginning to think Bush should be impeached. How can he allow
such shameful medical treatment of brave men (and women, though they
don't belong there) wounded in battle?

Nathan, You truly are a ******. The Veterans Adm. hospitals have been
a mess for decades. Seems funny the problems are being brought to
light now. Why didn't Clinton fire people? Go away. You look stupid.

There is a war going on now. The soldiers going to the hospital are
wounded in battle, not some retiree with bunyons. Clinton got away
with slacking the vets. Bush started this damn war and he is Commander
in Chief of that hospital. You don't give a rat's ass about our vets
you callous SOB. May you rot in hell.


During my last year in optometry school I did an 8-week rotation through the
Cleveland VA Hospital. There were Vietnam vets there, mostly quadriplegics,
who were so poorly cared-for that most simply wanted to die. It was a
crime. But Ringmaster's point was that nothing has really changed in the
past decades. If you want to blame presidents, you'll have to include
Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and W. The VA systems
has been a disaster for over half a century. Nothing new, but hopefully
something will get done now.

Thank you kindly for the clarification and apologies to Ringleader for
any ruffled feathers. I get too emotional about this whole veteran
thing, especially the neglect for our wounded. Did you go to the
Illinois School of Optometry on Wabash St in Chicago. I am very
familiar with it.


Indiana University School of Optometry in Bloomington, IN. I have a close
friend who attended ICO (Illinois College of Optometry on Wabash Street) and
I've been through their facility several times. Not a great neighborhood,
but I do love Chicago.

Nice try dimwit. Vets that have been enduring a failing system for
years are suffering from more than bunyons. Like I said, Clinton
never did anything about the problem. By the way I am a Vietnam
veteran. How about you? Why am I callous and don't give a rats ass?
I said the system was a mess. I just didn't blame Bush.

Sure. If you pay enough you don't have to do the classwork either.
