Comments on: A Question Of Care: Military Malpractice?

One Marine Served His Country With Care. Was His Cancer Misdiagnosed, Leading To His Death?

I can tell you stories about how our military members and their families are treated. I ws a Chaplain in the US Army and also was enlisted in the USMC.

It is time for a NEW Administration to restructure/reform the military so
everyone who joins WILL get the proper
medical care! It is time for oversight
to END and a NEW purpose for the U.S.
Military to continue to prosper. It
is time for the U.S. Military to mostly
leave Iraq and hunt for Osama Bin Laden
in Afghanistan or some other country that
houses him. George W. Bush has failed
in this effort, it is time for the next
President to undo his failures!

I am totally disgusted over the treatment of the young soldier. I do not know how someone who has earned the title of a physician can do this to another human being that they are supposed to be caring for.

I served in the Marines from 2002-2006 and I am disgusted to see this. Of course the Navy captain had no comment. Trust me when you join and the recruiter says free healthcare all that means is they give you motrin and water when you have strept throat. Oh and when they tell your free college they mean community college I am going to be attending Indiana University next year and the tuition is $30,000, you think the military is going to pay that kind of money? No way I have to take loans out for that...all the military wants you for is to go to Iraq and once you come back they step on you like a cockroach.

i think that what the family did was right, but i think the military should pay for eveything. i also believe that the doctor that 1st diagnosed him and didn''t tell any 1 should have to go through the same thing that Carmelo went through or worse. I also think that the Family should Persue the Law suit that they have about malpractice on the militaries part.

This is an outrage and I am very disturbed and disgusted by the Army''s total medical neglect of this fine young Marine. I am a Veteran and to see that young man suffer in such a way makes me physically ill. Something needs to be done now!

Thank you so much for reporting medical military stories. We are a retired Air Force family. We all have our stories or know someone who does. Thank you for exposing Uncle Sam and the sorrow we suffer.

How sad indeed this is. What''s even worse --the person in charge at the pentagon ''doesnt have anything to say about it''... I wonder what he is aloud to say..

I am VERY ANGRY with the US military ... how can they treat THEIR SOLDIERS like that?

I hope Jesus comes soon... we desperately need Him.

Great Story! But you need to push this to 60 minutes to get more visibility of the story. Challenge this Marine''s Congressman, etc to elicit change.

Are you kidding me? This is how our soldiers are treated?? After all they do for our country? Absolutely appalling.
