GOP congressman who was responsible for Walter Reed oversight now says the uproar is just politics

Yeah, if I were Rep. Steve Buyer, R-Ind., the former GOP House Veterans Affairs Committee chair in charge of making sure that Walter Reed and the rest of our military hospitals didn't abuse our soldiers - and they DID abuse our wounded troops under Buyer's non-watch - I too would be making light of the scandal at the expense of our troops. Especially if I were the guy who replaced the previous committee chair in a coup, all because the previous guy was too much of an advocate for the troops.

This GOP America-hater should be be forced to spend a month at Walter Reed, in a wheelchair, with the mold, the cockroaches, the asbestos, the 3rd degree burn showers, sleeping in his own urine - then see how political he thinks our maimed soldiers are being complaining about what the Republicans have done to them. Buyer knew that Walter Reed and our military hospitals didn't have enough money, but he covered for George Bush and screwed our soldiers, all for politics. The thought that he is still to this day playing politics with our soldiers' lives is sickening.
