CNBC/.B Williams/Max Cleland--Ft. Stewart, GA..633 in 'Medical Hold"
Edited on Wed Oct-22-03 12:13 AM by Gloria


Rolled the video, showing wounded soldiers (reservists), complaining loud about medical care. 6 week waits for surgery.....cramped, no A/C in some cases, no real lights (one soldier bought a $2 bulb holder/pull so he could turn it on without standing on the bed to turn the bulb ..."difficult for injured soldiers')

Amazing to really see guys with injuries, complaining LOUDLY!! Plus, the reservists believe their care come only after the regular army.

Williams concluded the inteview with Cleland, who's been down there, and said that he was sure this would be heating up....

Couldn't believe I was seeing this.....

I also had read that many of them have to go outside to go to the bathroom.

2. Any chance we could get Cleland to run for MILLERS seat?
as a liberal, pro-veteran type of candidate?

And get DINO Miller out of there...

3. Miller is retiring. The seat will be open.
Max undoubtedly won his last election, only to have it stolen via BBV.

I would love to see him return to the Senate.
