A number of soldiers that were victims of the mistreatment and disrespect at Walter Reed testified before the House Committee on Government Reform.

Staff Srg John Shannon, who was wounded in battle, describes how he was talked down to by the staff & Walter Reed.

SHANNON: "..at that point, I was showing a soldier that was also a patient in opthamology down to the office. And it was five minutes before they opened, and I just needed to ask the lady if a certain opthamologist worked there. And she looked me up and down, in my opinion like a piece of dirt, and said, 'Come see me when we open.' I won't repeat what I said to her. I cussed a blue streak. And it took everything I had not to jump over the counter and smash the printer she was using to copy.."

What a way to respect the soldiers that put their bodies on the line to defend YOUR freedoms.
