Verdict: Guilty

The ultimate verdict on Walter Reed Army Medical Center and this country's shameful treatment of wounded and maimed veterans:

There is something profoundly evil about a country encouraging young men and women to go off and fight its wars and then shortchanging them on medical care and other forms of assistance when they come back with wounds that will haunt them forever.
