The two-star general in charge of Walter Reed Army Medical Center was relieved of command on Thursday, following disclosures that wounded soldiers being treated as outpatients there were living in dilapidated quarters and enduring long waits for treatment.

Mr. Boyce [an Army spokesman] said the worst conditions in the outpatient residences had been corrected but added the Army was planning to make more repairs, like replacing a faulty heating and air-conditioning system that was the cause of the mold on the walls.

scape goat?
any of the hospital's "customers" born on the 4th of July?
in this war no-one can say that vets have received sub standard medical care because Congress has been parsimonious. One of my main concerns about Congress attempting to shut down the war by stopping the funding was that if finances were squeezed the medical care to the vets would be one the first places to see cut backs in expenditure but it's happened anyway.
I oppose the war and I support the troops -- the Bush administration does the reverse -- the vets receiving anything but the finest care is a disgrace *cold anger*
