1. Wait a minute ... at a time when more kids are coming back maimed than ..

ever ... this guy wants to CUT personnel?

He is absolutely SHAMELESS! He is a sociopath, I swear (no conscience or ability to empathize with other human beings).

2. Why doesn't Halliburton buy it? Or the Carlyle Group?

3. What?!

4. Who is going to fix up the amputees and burn victims from Iraq?

Are they going to be farmed out to corporate hospitals owned by Frist or something?

6. Bethesda Naval Hospital

In the general area-that would be my guess. That and farming it out to civilian hospitals....like HCA (that the Frist family owns)?

8. No, the LAST thing they are going to do is farm the war casualties

out to civilian institutions -- they lose all control if they do that. If anything they will use the reduced capacity stateside to keep them in recovery longer overseas. Send them to Frankfurt, patch em up, send them back to Iraq, and if they go home at all it will be for a two-week furlough. Only the most seriously injured would come back to the States.

5. I understand it........

Why would they need "people" that need healthcare and a paycheck, when we can just buy a whole bunch of "big bombs" that don't have any of those needs. They are just looking for a reason to create more bombs, mark my words.

7. they want to privatize military health care

That's exactly what Rummy wants to do.

9. Oh they cut off Walter Reeds legs now did they...Well he didn't need 'em!
