Gulf War Syndrome II
The government’s unconscionable treatment of soldiers in this war is likely to seriously bite President Bush in the ass come next year’s election. UPI reports:
FORT STEWART - Hundreds of sick and wounded U.S. soldiers including many who served in the Iraq war are languishing in hot cement barracks here while they wait, sometimes for months, to see doctors.
The National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers’ living conditions are so substandard, and the medical care so poor, that many of them believe the Army is trying push them out with reduced benefits for their ailments. One document shown to UPI states that no more doctor appointments are available from Oct. 14 through Nov. 11 - Veterans Day.
Not the first we’ve heard of such treatment. Remember this would-be TV ad, “Army of One”?
