Can you imagine?
BAY CITY, Mich. — When neighbors went inside Marvin Schur’s house, the windows were frosted over, icicles hung from a faucet, and the 93-year-old World War II veteran lay dead on the bedroom floor in a winter jacket over four layers of clothing.
He froze to death — slowly and painfully, authorities say — days after the electric company installed a power-limiting device because of more than $1,000 in unpaid bills.
I’ll answer my own question. Yes, I can imagine. After a callous answer from Rumsfield some years ago about going to war with the army you got, and seeing the mold in our country’s leading VA Center (Walter Reed) this doesn’t even seem remotely that surprising.
