Comments on: Walter Reed https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/02/21/walter-reed/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 22 Feb 2007 17:36:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2007/02/21/walter-reed/comment-page-1/#comment-20676 Thu, 22 Feb 2007 17:36:09 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2007/02/21/walter-reed/#comment-20676 OT: don’t bet on it having been replaced. Military IT systems don’t get upgraded until they totally fail.

They have been systematically destroying the military and veterans health care systems since they entered office at the same time they are following courses guaranteed to increase the number of people who need them.

They just don’t care, and have never cared.

Hospital adjacent to the Texas Medical Center campus, and over the years I have worked with and around a lot of researchers at the V.A. Until recently, the researchers I knew nodded their heads in approval when Walter Reed was mentioned; it was well-respected in the military medical community. The few of those V.A. employees with whom I am still in touch are aghast at what has happened. Some share my politics; some do not… but the V.A. people I know are horrified that it has been allowed to come to this at Walter Reed, all in the last few years.

Just how many atrocities will Bush and his handlers be allowed to commit against America’s military? Unfortunately, I don’t believe we’ve seen the last of it yet.

(OT, Bryan, did I ever tell you that between 15 and 20 years ago, as a subcontractor to a USDA contractor, I wrote a lot of the code for some of the U.S. Army’s nutrition research software? Of course it’s all been replaced since then…)
