A pilot project intended to speed the process of evaluating and rating service members’ disabilities will do little more than turn a bad process into “a fast bad process,” the Army’s top medical official said Friday.
Army Surgeon General Lt. Gen. Eric Schoomaker’s comments came at a hearing at which the services’ surgeons general had their chance to brag about what they have done in the year since the outpatient scandal at Walter Reed broke — standing up units specially designed to take care of wounded troops, asking for and receiving money to house those service members, ombudsmen, internal checks and toll-free numbers for reporting problems – before the House Armed Services Subcommittee.
Schoomaker also spent some time talking about continued problems, including his view that the pilot project designed to streamline the disability system will not prove to be the answer.

I am so sick of the terrible way the Bush regime is treating our wounded troops. They have a lot of nerve to tell war opponents to support the troops.
ReplyDeleteHe keeps proving he doesn't care about any of them with his budgets. He gets all the money he wants to keep the troops risking their lives but never, ever, asks for enough money to take care of them. They keep dying for his attention.
