From The Washington Post

For all you bush soldiers out there..Do enjoy...We know you DO



According to documents released at recent meetings of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees, the VA hospital in White River Junction, Vt., was forced to shut its operating rooms temporarily because of a lack of maintenance funds to repair a broken heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Hospitals in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana and eastern Texas stopped scheduling appointments for many veterans. The VA medical center in San Diego, with a waiting list of 750 veterans, diverted $3.5 million in maintenance funds to partially cover operating expenses and delayed filling 131 vacancies for three months to cover operating expenses. The Portland, Ore., hospital delayed non-emergency surgery for at least six months, and 7,000 veterans who use the VA facility in Bay Pines, Fla., are waiting longer than 30 days for a primary care appointment.

Your President and his administration sucks, what more does your military have to know, they go and do the dying, but who the hell in the bush administration gives a fig, after all which one of them, did the patriotic thing and serve when they were called to fight for their country, Maybe they will all learn one of these days or maybe they already have and there votes just were not counted last election.
