We Are Being Lied To About The Wounded...

The Hidden Truth We Can’t Seem to Believe



How long can they keep them all bottled up?



Who?



The tens of thousands of GI’s kept under cover in military hospitals and on bases in Germany and Walter Reed and other hospitals around the country….



Many of these men and women would have died because of the horrendous nature of the car bomb injuries were it not for the extraordinary skills of today’s surgeons.



Yet, many are sightless with missing limbs and facing perhaps decades of additional care in our facilities.



However, there are serious signs that our government has been backing away from its commitments. Some are being told that their benefits are running out; others told that there is nothing else treatments can do for them…suggesting that the government is getting ready to wash its hands of them…



As news of these veterans begins to come out, it will constitute an issue of such magnitude that we can’t even begin to grasp it right now.



The problem is that there are many more seriously wounded that are tucked away in bases than anyone knows or suspects. They are kept undercover in deliberate ways being told things like if you leave the base, you will lose your treatment rights, etc.



I’ve heard these stories as a former Veterans Adviser and it is important that the word get out to the American people.



And if you doubt what I say, try to get an accurate count of wounded from any government official. They will waltz you every which way but towards an answer that you can believe in.



But the truth is that when the ranks of the wounded are increasing geometrically due to a lack of support and the right equipment, the truth cannot be held back forever.



These troops are angry and disappointed and feel they deserve better.



Sooner or later, it will all come out and there will be hell to pay; only, by then, Bush will be back at the ranch and Cheney and Rumsfeld will be enjoying their new estates on the east bank of the Chesapeake feeling no guilt and no responsibility.



One wonders if there really is justice anymore….
