It all falls down to the chain of command, and I guess it is Bush's fault that building 18 occured?
The VA is a very flawed system I don't deny that, but it is better than it used to be.
My apologies, roachboy, for continuing a threadjack but I'm compelled to correct the above statement. The Veterans Administration has nothing to do with Building 18 or the hospital. Those facilities are under the direction of the Department of Defense. The VA actually serves veterans, not returning soldiers, and has a reputation of doing a reasonably good job of it.
