...Still, as a military institution, the hospital has a responsibility to war casualties even after they leave the wards, a sentiment Defense Secretary Robert Gates stressed on Friday while announcing that an indepenent panel would indeed investigate the problems at Walter Reed. The wounded fight a daily battle long after they returned from war. With national politicians finger-pointing and calling soldiers the victims of bad policy, Building 18 was a scandal waiting to happen.It's a shame Walter Reed has let it overshadow the extraordinary care it has provided a generation of warriors...
