Could it get much worse than this?

It’s hard to maintain an appropriate level of outrage sometimes. There have been many cases of the Bush administration looking the other way wounded veterans are not given the quality treatment they deserve after their enormous sacrifices. Still, as the pentagon considers awarding purple hearts for psychological injuries, a Department of Veterans Affairs internal e-mail suggests they are actively discouraging the diagnosis of some mental diseases.

“Given that we are having more and more compensation seeking veterans, I’d like to suggest that we refrain from giving a diagnosis of PTSD straight out. Consider a diagnosis of Adjustment Disorder, R/O PTSD,” the e-mail said.

There is nothing more disgusting than throwing our veterans off the cliff to save a buck.
