AP perpetuates lies about Walter Reed
Yeah, this is getting very tiring. TSO called me this morning to tell me that Associated Press is still clinging to the lie that Walter Reed Army Medical Center was at the center of controversy over the way they treated soldiers. I wrote about it back in July and nothing has changed. They have an […]
My Walter Reed vacation
Some of you may have noticed I’ve been a bit slack in posting the past week or so. Well, I hadn’t planned on explaining it, but a good post grew out of it, so here goes. I had some abdominal pain a few weeks ago and went to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to […]
Walter Reed AMC: 100 years of warrior care
Walter Reed Army Medical Center is kicking off their centennial celebration this April. Despite the bad press that has been magnified to further the careers of some disingenuous reporters recently, it really is a great medical facility. I’ve had emergency surgery there myself and they have the best staff of doctors and nurses of any […]
AP can’t tell the truth
I’ve been boycotting Associated Press along with the rest of blogs since they got uppity (uh-oh, is using the word “uppity” showing my bigotry?) a few weeks back, but I’m breaking the boycott for this piece of crap reporting from Deb Reichman; President Bush helped break ground Thursday for a new military medical center to […]
Memorial Day Weekend at Walter Reed

The last time I was there was back on their 3rd Anniversary in March. The FReepers and Protest Warriors still own all four corners […]
3d Anniversary Freep at Walter Reed
A little over three years ago, the Code Pink freaks began a death vigil outside of Walter Reed Army Medical Center every Friday night to greet the weekly bus bringing in casualties from the war against terror. After their first Friday night a group of local people who frequent the Free Republic forums decided that […]
Walter Reed Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course grads
Click for full-sized picture I’m just unashamedly copying the post from Thus Spake Ortner at The Sniper; OK, in order to go from SGT (E5) to Staff Sergeant (E6), a soldier must attend and pass the Basic Non-commissioned officers course. For the first time ever, this is being offered to wounded troops currently at Walter […]
Live blogging Winter Soldier II (Part II)
The second part of the program this morning (you can get the names and personal info from TSO) is on veterans’ healthcare. The complaints are systemic of a large government bureaucracies running healthcare. Long waits between visits, difficulty in getting adequate diagnosis in a timely manner. Of course, what the panelists missed is that it’s […]
