How can you be 100% responsible and outraged at the same time

[Astrad]

General in charge of Walter Reed Hospital says he takes "one hundred percent" responsibility for terrible conditions there and said he was "outraged" when he learnt of them. Was he outraged with himself?

1. i get outraged at myself when i'm 100% responsible for a mistake

instead of blaming, i recognize my culpability & don't get angry with others.

so yeah, i guess so.

2. All Bullshit.....They knew it was horrid...This is not the first report of this problem

They have a football mentality when it comes to wounded soldiers.

I played for a coach that was no longer interested in you if you were injured because you were of no use to him but took up his and his trainer's time.

This is the same mentality. Blame the victim. The army takes care of you a little until you are injured, then you offer them nothing and they pay you back fivefold.

This is the chickenhawk way.

3. Maybe he was outraged that someone exposed the situation --n/t

5. Now that's more like it. Nice clarification there

:hi:

That's what Bush does all the time. He even "took" responsibility for Katrina, but never imposed consequences.

4. If he was the general in charge

Then he should have known the conditions or he was not doing his job and if he knew he was not doing his job , either way he is ignorent and is responsible . I would never call this a mistake , it is willful ignorence .
