Half-Truths and The VA

Army Surgeon General: "More than half" our wounded vets aren't treated like animals - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth: "...But my favorite part of the Army Surgeon General's interview is the following statement:

But, remember, more than half the [soldiers'] rooms were actually perfectly OK.

Wow, more than half! That's really super! That's a bit like bragging that more than half of the pages WEREN'T sexually abused by Republican congressmen, or assuring your spouse that more than half the time you're NOT cheating on her (or as one of our readers commented, 'And more than 95 percent of American cities HAVEN'T been flooded because of federal neglect of levees!')

Yes, this is the standard of excellence that George Bush and the Republicans have brought to our military. In the greatest country on earth, more than half of our wounded and maimed veterans aren't being treated like scum.
