Speaking of Two Americas, from USA Today:
Disclosures of substandard housing for troops treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are prompting Congress to investigate whether the Army is running a plush ward at the complex for VIPs at the expense of ordinary war casualties.
...
The suites have carpeted floors, antique furniture and fine china in the dining rooms. That's a stark contrast to mold- and mice-ridden housing that some wounded troops had been found to be living in.
...
The Eisenhower Executive Nursing Suite, also known as Ward 72, features heightened security, including bullet-proof windows and secure telephone lines. Among the other touches are flat-panel televisions and curio cabinets filled with gifts from foreign leaders.
Don't know if much more needs to be said. Money that should be spent on medical care for wounded soldiers and upkeep on the rest of the hospital is being spent on luxurious surroundings for officers and their friends. My guess is Democrats need not apply.
