The President's Commission On Care for America's Returning Wounded Warriors — led by Sen. Bob Dole and former Secretary of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala — has just reported back on their findings on how this nation cares for its wounded heroes.

The short answer is, we don’t. WE SUCK, WE IGNORE, WE JUST HAVE NOT BEEN TREATING THESE men and women coming home with missing limbs, brain damage, eyes gone, we NEVER HAVE. WHEN THEIR time is done and they come home all FUBARED they get a half hearted thanks from America, Some Americans are reviving that wonderful tradition from the Vietnam war, of spitting or cursing these wounded war vets. This is the treatment and thanx they get for the sacrifice they have freely given of themselves.

The presidential commission was very politically correct and would not name names or blame anyone for the disaster that we witnessed a few months ago at Walter Reed. Only seven people were fired. Many more heads should have rolled over this one, to have our walking wounded left to their own devices to live in mouse and roach infested buildings is just deplorable and a disgrace on the American people.

Can we just stop all this bull? Can we just look straight into the camera and say, "We suck, we apologize and now we are now going to fix it?" And, perhaps give the wounded warriors, and you, their families, a free cell phone with unlimited minutes ... one that has one number to dial, that is manned by U.S. citizens — not Pakistanis — who will answer and help you with you medical issues? Can we give the press complete open access to the problem as they uncover it? Can we not just look in the camera and say, "In 30 days I will come back out here and keep coming every 30 days until every damn service members medical problem is fixed?"

We had a deal with these soldiers — you fight for us and we will take care of your wounds. That means all of your wounds — physical and emotional — that you got while serving, for the rest of your life, quickly and efficiently. The soldiers kept their end of the deal they always do. We have been lying scum-buckets. We have used soldiers for backdrops to make political points — we have said how much we love soldiers … basically a “thanks for your service.” I gotta tell you, when you are missing a body part, or have such emotional and or mental problems that you lose your family, "thanks" just does not cut it.

We can go to the moon, we can go to Iraq, we can worry about Lindsay Lohan’s life, we can cry with Paris Hilton … but how about we fix this massive betrayal of our service men and women. Not tomorrow. NOW DAMN IT NOW!!!
