FOR EVERY FINGER POINTED, THREE ARE POINTED BACK AT YOU...

I for one, am sick and tired of listening to all these wonderful congressional idiots trying to point their insidious fingers to everyone but themselves regarding the problems in the military hospitals. Almost every person in Congress has stood up and told the world either on TV or in the newspapers, as to how they have gone to "visit" our nations wounded and maimed. How they have "commended" them for their bravery and sacrifice to their country. They have, supposedly, made numerous trips to Walter Reed and other medical facilities to check on their (the soldiers) care and how they are recovering.

Now they want to stand up in front of the world and their constituents and proclaim how outraged they are about how our brave soldiers returning for care are being taken care of. One must think that we are blind to this issue. To think that these "elected" officials are totally without fault and that it all can be blamed on the administration is ludacris. Yes the administration has a part to play in this fiasco, but so do these self-righteous bimbonic money suckers who are up there in D.C.

If they have paid so much attention to the soldiers returning for care at Walter Reed and other facilities they SHOULD have been taking notice of their conditions. Yet, by saying nothing until it comes out in the newspaper shows me that they were more than willing to accept these hospital conditions. If they are just now waking up to the fact that some of these hospitals are below standards, where the hell have they been for the last 15 years?

It is easy to stand on the sidelines, as many elected officials do, and criticize how things are done or not done. But I guess the one thing they don't understand is that THEY are the ones responsible for these conditions. With all of their PORK that is attached to these bills so they can have a road paved with their name on it is now coming back to bite them in their butts. Is it possible that the American people are so stupid to think that all of the billions of dollars that are mark for the military actually goes to the military? Billions of dollars have been re-routed out of these bills for funding to make them look good back in their home states. Repairs for hospitals and equipment has been squandered by our elected officials. Billions of dollars have been redirected, or bills have died on the floor because they couldn't agree on which amendment would best serve their purpose. Now they want to place all the blame on others.

Of all the Senate oversight committees, and House sub-committees, they want us to believe that they simply had no knowledge of these conditions. I say they weren't doing their jobs. They have been so hell bent on trashing the administration and each other for so long that these things have gone unnoticed under the radar. This does not take blame away from the hospital administrators either. It is their job to make sure that these soldiers have the best recovery conditions possible, after all they have sacrificed much for everyone else. But we all know WHO CONTROLS THE MONEY, that is the CONGRESS of The United States of America. So stand up you cowardly SOB's and take the tongue lashing that you deserve.

Both parties need to be cleaned out of office and get someone in there that is willing to do the job that they were hired to do. It amazes me that we, as a country, have lasted as long as we have with all the throat cutting that goes on in politics. You are hired by the people to do a job, I would suggest that you start doing it or get the H*&% out of office. As a veteran, I am appalled by your ignorance. I have no more than a high school education, but a world of life experience; and even I can see how blind and greedy you, as our elected officials, are.

So, if you want to point fingers and place blame, I would suggest that you go look in the mirror. Remember this though, for every finger you point at someone else, there are three pointing back at you. I am sorry for some of the language utilized in this post. It is not a norm as to how I address things. But the ignorance of these officials has me stirred in twelve different directions of anger, and again I apologise.

I think we have to be aware that being mean to someone is our own fault. We'd better give help instead blaming each other.
