So they’re apparently making the wounded Iraq war vets pay for their own meals while hospitalized and recovering from their injuries. This strikes me as particualrly callous and disgusting. So part of me thinks, let’s start up a charity event that raises money from Democratic causes, and donates it to cover the costs of the vets’ meals? The other part of me thinks that then that makes it ok that the government isn’t paying for them.

But if it’s not done, it’s the vets that get screwed. It is sort of strange. Being completely mercenary for a moment, this could be a tremendous PR coup for any Democrat with the organizational acument to raise enough money to cover the vets’ expenses.

Hell, maybe I should look into how to do such a thing.
