!Not Again!? More trouble with US government-provided health care system |
[And we want to turn health care for the entire nation over to this?]
Mail sent to Walter Reed never delivered By ROBERT BURNS,
AP Military Writer
WASHINGTON - Turns out the trouble at Walter Reed Army Medical Center,
the focus of a firestorm of criticism over poor treatment of wounded
war veterans, reached into the mailroom.
The Army said Friday that it has opened an investigation into the
recent discovery of 4,500 letters and parcels - some dating to May
2006 - at Walter Reed that were never delivered to soldiers.
And it fired the contract employee who ran the mailroom.

Hate to mention this but this is your administration doing what you said
you'd do. You got contract employees in the hospital and they did what
under payed people have always done, nothing. What a shock.
Rather than blame government, blame your adminstration. They set this up
and it played its self out just as it always has. Ya pays peanuts, ya gets
monkees. Now who's doing the paying?

Uh, Kurt? The mail room was handled by a private contractor.
Do you actually read these stories for content? It wasn't a soldier,
or a civil servant running that mail room. It was a contracted
employee. Can't wait to hear what branch of Haliburton he dropped
off.

You get fired for not delivering mail,
but if you send the soldiers to die you get re-elected?
And he got fired PRIOR to the investigation?

Exatly so. The GOP wanted all ancilliary and maintenance functions
for the military to be privatized. Never mind that it was far more
expensive and less efficient; it made the "military budget" smaller.
The lions share of these activities went to Halliburton and it's
subsidiaries. At Walter Reed, that would have been Kellogg Brown
Root, who took over custodial, maintenance, laundry, delivery
(including patient mail) and inventory.

Mail sent to Walter Reed never delivered By ROBERT BURNS,
AP Military Writer
WASHINGTON - Turns out the trouble at Walter Reed Army Medical Center,
the focus of a firestorm of criticism over poor treatment of wounded
war veterans, reached into the mailroom.
The Army said Friday that it has opened an investigation into the
recent discovery of 4,500 letters and parcels - some dating to May
2006 - at Walter Reed that were never delivered to soldiers.
And it fired the contract employee who ran the mailroom.

Contract employee. That's a republican demand.
Are you saying that the employee was hired because some republican
demanded
he be hired?
What part of contract don't you understand?
Or is this just another of Katie's famous red herrings??
Red herrings? LOL, I almost never reply to your insane posts. You
aren't worth it. Apparently you think silence is a red herring.

I'm wondering by what tortured reasoning you connect "contract" with
"republican".

I'm wondering by what tortured reasoning you connect "contract" with
"republican".
Because support services at Walter Reed were privatized in January,
2006. As you may well recall, George W. Bush was in fact President at
the time (and he's a Republican!) and he enjoyed Republican majorities
in both the House and Senate.
So, the Republican White House thought it would be great to continue
privatizing military support, despite the utter failures in Iraq by
Halliburton, and gave a big contract to KBR (a Halliburton contractor)
to do all the support work at Walter Reed.
Less than a year later, the place is a scandal, and now we learn they
couldn't even bother to get letters from home to wounded troops.
Kurt, the US Army got me my mail in a timely fashion wherever I was. I
got letters an packages in mountain top observation posts, jungles,
and at refugee camps in the middle of deserts. In this case, the mail
reached a destination in CONUS, and 4,500 pieces of mail were just
shoved into boxes.
The person responsible should be charged with 4,500 counts of
Obstruction of Correspondence
TITLE 18, PART I, CHAPTER 83, § 1702
§ 1702. Obstruction of correspondence
Whoever takes any letter, postal card, or package out of any post
office or any authorized depository for mail matter, or from any
letter or mail carrier, or which has been in any post office or
authorized depository, or in the custody of any letter or mail
carrier, before it has been delivered to the person to whom it was
directed, with design to obstruct the correspondence, or to pry into
the business or secrets of another, or opens, secretes, embezzles, or
destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not
more than five years, or both.
22,500 years in prison out to do nicely.
