On an infinitely larger and more significant scale, do I need to cite the recent mess at Walter Reed Hospital? Are the words of the patients (victims) hyperbole?

If you live in the United States, and have seen or heard any national news reports in the last week or so, you would.

Earle,
On second reading of my original response to you about this, I feel I could have phrased it better, and I had no reason to assume you lived in the US - I apologize.
If you haven't already seen the report I encourage you to do so. It concerns the physical, cultural and bureaucratic conditions that exist within, what is supposed to be, one of the best military hospitals in the US. It is a prime example of a bureaucracy in denial of problems that exist within a facility they are responsible for - and the effect this denial has had on the persons depending on them.
I wish I had a link to include here regarding this, but I can't find one at the moment.
Again, I apologize for the abruptness of by original reply.
