Where is the Love?

Soldiers Face Neglect, Frustration At Army's Top Medical Facility. The Iraq war has transformed Walter Reed into "a holding ground for physically and psychologically damaged outpatients."

"We've done our duty. We fought the war. We came home wounded. Fine. But whoever the people are back here who are supposed to give us the easy transition should be doing it," said Marine Sgt. Ryan Groves, 26, an amputee who lived at Walter Reed for 16 months.

Meanwhile, despite predictions that the cost of medical care for veterans will skyrocket, the Bush administration plans to cut funding for veterans' health care in a bid to balance the budget by 2012. At the same time he wants more money for more troops and wants the world to be patient as his plan takes effect.

This is a logic free zone.
