I think this article reflects a very large problem that for whatever reason has escaped American consciousness. For all the talk about supporting the troops that has permiated public debate, I don't think the system has lived up to its own expectations. At least not to the point in which someone who has given his/her life to military service is provided with basic medical care. This is indicative of a much larger problem: we are a country that systematically favors procedure over results. Bureaucratic nonsense has replaced humanity.
EDIT
After watching the video I found the whole situation even more obscene. The graphic showing how far a recovering soldier has to travel to receive treatment was particularly effective. Simply put, it made my blood boil.
