Teddy Roosevelt: “Unless ample provision is now made by Congress to put the Medical Corps where it should be put disaster in the next war…”

On the record
Unless ample provision is now made by Congress to put the Medical Corps where it should be put disaster in the next war is inevitable, and the responsibility will not lie with those then in charge of the War Department, but with those who now decline to make the necessary provision.
