Everyone Is To Blame For The Walter Reed Scandal, Except Those Who Got The Story

To bmanther:
This is one of the fundamental questions of our time. But what you conveniently forget is that though God allows suffering He promises to go through it with us. Jesus Christ, Who can be proven by history to exist, walked this earth and as God's Son suffered Himself. God did not spare even His own Son from suffering. Therefore, God understands what we're going through. Eventually, we'll live in a world where suffering is banned. It's called heaven and the ticket to admission is to admit that you are lost without Christ and that you accept His suffering as payment for your sins and invite Him to live in your heart. He will. Next, study the Bible with some mature Christians and grasp a better understanding of Who God is and why your present ideas about Him are just not right. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I once told God to get lost myself. And He forgave me for that. He can do it for you too. All you have to do is let Him.

dallison7,

I have not used Balboa since I left San Diego in 2004, But at the time the service was first class. Better than the Civilian hospitals here in Tn. I had Two surgeries at Balboa including a shoulder reconstruction. They did an awesome job.

"But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand that preserved us...and we have vainly imagined; in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own...Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us...It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness."
Abraham Lincoln-March 30, 1863

Amen!

Do you mean that same god that allows all of this suffering to exist? That same god that you think chooses sides? You are delusional!!

[dovestar]

You almost got it right.
The correct answer should be, "No excuse, Lord".
Since June 25, 1962, we as a society have kicked God out on His Ear. And God, being the perfect Gentleman He is, has honored our requests for Him to get lost. This is why we have had problems over the years, the latest one being the military hospital scandal. No one can agree what is right anymore. Back in the day of "The Greatest Generation" the 3 pillars of society (family, government, and church) each taught and upheld the same essential values. They have since drifted apart. We can't fix it. The only solution is to restore God to His rightful place in our society and HE will fix it.

Do you want to know why such things happen? Who or what is to blame? You might remember that every time you deal, or try to deal, with the federal government the bureaucrats act like you exist to serve them. In short, our public servants have become public masters. Customer service in the private sector appears to be going the same way.
One reason for this is that back in WWII the three pillars of sociedty (family, government, and the church) were all teaching essentially the same values. That stopped June 25, 1962 when the Supreme Court ruled that 33 million schoolids must stop praying in the government schools. Since then, those 3 pillars of society have drifted apart. They will come back together only when God is restored to His rightful place in this nation and not one second sooner.

There you go again.
Kneejerk reaction: Find Problem. Blame Bush.
Let's face facts. Enough of you hate his guts that everything that goes wrong is his fault. I know, the buck stops here, etc. One man cannot possibly know all the wrongdoing going on in the federal establishment. But everyone holds him responsible and the direct deliberate cause of all problems simply because his name is George W. Bush. I suppose that giving him credit for what has gone RIGHT if you'll admit to anything going right at all, is virtually nonexistent.

After reading all the comments, some good, some of the same #$%t from name callers, I have come to this conclusion. The dems who are in control for now have been given a present wrapped in gold by the media. These conditions aren't new, or just didn't happen in the last 3 yrs. If the dems really CARED, they could fix it, or just blame bush. I remember in the late 70's when the dems were in control of it all and nothing now could compare to how bad and poor funded the military was then. Bush has taken some of the right steps by increasing funding, but we I would really like to see a private business handle all paperwork and insurance. The federal "quota" employees are worthless.
