"Insult to Injury" update

Salon reported last month that Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington started charging wounded outpatient soldiers for their meals as of January 3, apparently ignoring Pentagon regulations that cap food costs for soldiers. The result of that policy is that wounded soldiers have been left holding the bag -- at a price tag of $250 a month.
WTF? Wounded soldiers are now having to pay for their own food? Wonder why they aren't making their recruiting quotas.

Hello! SUPPORT OUR TROOPS means the ones who gave their limb for us, not just their time.
