by user Supremeirony No wonder Veterans Affairs is so incompetent at doing the one thing they are supposed to be doing. The VA Secretary is a total moron : [ABC's Bob] WOODRUFF: You think americans fully understand how many injured there are in this war? [VA Secretary Jim] NICHOLSON: I think it — i think it cuts both ways. I think Americans are always very surprised to know the number of amputations, for example, which is fewer than 600 in total. They’re probably also surprised to know that 200,000 come to the VA for some kind of medical treatment. That’s probably more than they think. WOODRUFF: You have mental disorders — 73,000; diseases of nervous system — 61,000; symtpoms, signs of ill-defined conditions — 7,000; diseases of musculoskeletal system — 87,000. These are numbers beyo

  • by user Supremeirony No wonder Veterans Affairs is so incompetent at doing the one thing they are supposed to be doing. The VA Secretary is a total moron : [ABC's Bob] WOODRUFF: You think americans fully understand how many injured there are in this war? [VA Secretary Jim] NICHOLSON: I think it — i think it cuts both ways. I think Americans are always very surprised to know the number of amputations, for example, which is fewer than 600 in total. They’re probably also surprised to know that 200,000 come to the VA for some kind of medical treatment. That’s probably more than they think. WOODRUFF: You have mental disorders — 73,000; diseases of nervous system — 61,000; symtpoms, signs of ill-defined conditions — 7,000; diseases of musculoskeletal system — 87,000. These are numbers beyond the 23,000. NICHOLSON: A lot of them come in for dental problems, others come in for a lot of the normal things that people have. We’re providing their healthcare. Some I suppose are because of their service over there. But they weren’t evacuated for that. That's just stunning. Bob Woodruff highlights the number of veterans seeking care for serious medical and psychological issues, and Jim Nicholson dismisses them as seeking dental care? What planet to Bush supporters come from? 'cause it ain't Earth! Cross posted from The Supreme Irony of Life ... __NOEDITSECTION__ From The Opinion Wiki, a Wikia wiki.
