Obama Wants to Charge Wounded Soldiers for Bandages

CNN is reporting that Obama wants to charge soldiers for their medical expenses while serving their country using the soldier's private insurance.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance.

Ed Morrissey over at hotair.com puts it best....

If the Obama administration wanted to come up with the most politically offensive policy it could imagine, within the bounds of reason and reality, what elements would it have to include? Insulting veterans and looking like cheapskates in a time when massive government outlays to private industry would certainly help it along. Comes now Hero of the Anti-War Left, retired General Eric Shinseki, who wants to save a few bucks at the Veterans Administration by making men and women injured in the service of our country pay for their care:

Actually, Sen. Murray (no relation) put it even better...

But the proposal would be "dead on arrival" if it's sent to Congress, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, said.

This is a stupid, vile, ugly, and foul suggestion on the part of Obama and he should be ashamed.

But he won't be because he doesn't actually believe in our servicemen and women or the US military of which he is commander-in-chief. Expect more stupid, vile, ugly and foul suggestions regarding our armed services from this administration in the future.
