Wheres The Outrage On The Right?

I peruse several Right-leaning blogs and since the Walter Reed scandal broke you haven't seen them blogging about it. It's great to wave the flag and slap a yellow ribbon on your Hummer, but actually paying up so that wounded men and women who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan are well taken care of when they return home, nah give me my tax cut. Rumsfeld slashed the military hospitals and VA system in cost cutting measures that have come back to haunt them. The system that has sent these soldiers to war has failed them upon their return. The wingnuts rail on about anti war demonstrators and not being patriotic, but when it comes to looking after casualties of their own making, the cash isn't there. F that, all Americans deserve affordable good healthcare, and especially those that have served their country with honor.

Absolutely. Some are calling the Walter Reed scandal another Hurricane Katrina.

Lizzy, that would be especially appropriate considering one of the companies involved also screwed up
in the aftermath of Katrina.

Maybe, they should go to war themselves. Or worse yet, send their children off to war. Unpatriotic? Bullshit.
