“Auschwitz-like” conditions at Dawood Hospital: maggots, gangreen, malnutrition

and just couldn't finish looking at the pics. I have no words for how horrible and angry it makes me feel to know how many people within our gov't simply turn a blind eye to this type of fuckedry.

address the horrors of Dawood Hospital.

(still true though)

I heard this story this a.m. on KKFI, KC's local community radio. When I heard of the appalling conditions (open sores, feces on the floor, gangrene, etc.) I wondered "What happened to the money? Who 'took their cut off the top'?"

If I recall correctly, the investigation revealed that many of the patients had family members looking after them. What about the hospital staff?

And the general in charge wanted to cover it up!!

That's why the generals, the contractors and the Afghans have a united interest in keeping the money spigot flowing...

The appropriate analogy is Andersonville-like.

I am sure Auschwitz featured maggots, gangrene, and malnutrition, but that is not the first thing "Auschwitz" brings to mind, but unless the vets are actually being gassed and cremated in large groups the term is hyperbolic and a distraction.

If you look at the pictures, many of the patients appear to be nothing but skin and bone. There's also a systematic approach to it that requires many levels of sadism from a corrupted culture, not an inapplicable comparison to Nazis at all. People were left to rot in Dawood, also a fitting comparison.

Thanks for making it clear how clean Auschwitz was, LOL, I'm sure you weren't being "hyperbolic and a distraction".

But then, pictures like this of military hospitals and the denial of a widow with 10,000 per annum benefits, and it seems to me the concern isn't real or adequate.
