- MariusAgricola, on 04/22/2008, -0/+7I can't believe this hasn't been on Digg before. It angers me the way our military treats its volunteers. There may have been a time when it made sense to protect the military from lawsuit, but if our troops have no choice in who they see (they don't), then this kind of outcome should be no surprise. I spent six years in the Army watching the ineptitude of the military medical professionals as applied to their own. Don't get me wrong: they are wonderful in combat operations and the like, but they are not a good replacement for private care.

Thanks to everyone who is making an effort to voice their opinion on this ruling, for our service members!
