Do you think the revelation that conditions at Walter Reed Hospital being poor is an outrage?

Last week we were treated to a new exposé of just how fraudulent and shallow and meaningless ”Support Our Troops” is on the lips of those in charge of spending the half a trillion dollars of taxpayers’ money that the Pentagon eats every year.

The Washington Post published an exposé, complete with photographs, revealing that for every inpatient who’s getting the best medical treatment that money can buy at the main hospital at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, there are 17 outpatients warehoused in quarters unfit for human habitation.

Some of the military outpatients are stuck on the Walter Reed campus, a couple of miles from the White House and the Capitol, for as long as 12 months. They’ve been living in rat and roach-infested rooms, some of which are coated in black mold.
