Letter: Shouldn’t charge veterans for food

Wounded veterans are being charged for food in military hospitals -- are we crazy? We should stand ashamed; we owe so much and give so little.

If we can't afford to keep our military out of harm's way, then the least we can do is feed them when they are in the hospital suffering on our account. I wish I knew who was responsible for these actions. I would at least try to vote them out of office.

Kudos for Sen. Harry Reid for trying to overturn this incredibly stupid, cruel policy and my apologies to every member of the military who is fighting for me.
