A new Walter Reed.


The U.S. military is promising action to address conditions in a barracks at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, after a soldier’s father posted images on YouTube showing a building that he said “should be condemned.”
“This is embarrassing. It’s disgusting. It makes me mad as hell,” Ed Frawley said of the building where his son, Sgt. Jeff Frawley, had to live upon his return this month from a 15-month deployment to Afghanistan.

Frawley’s 10-minute video shows still photos from throughout the building, which appears to be falling apart and filled with mold and rust.

The is what's meant by We Support Our Troops. Just think of it if the father of a soldier hadn't put this on YouTube nothing would have changed. Now the Military is saying it's the responsibility of the soldiers to take care of the base. Are they suppose to rebuilt the building too. We give Trillions of dollars to Iraq yet nothing to our soldiers. Don't look for anything to change after the Media puts this on the back page. Nothing has changed in Walter Reed but a few rooms are cleaned for photo ops. Look for more horror to come. If Americans paid more attention to the soldiers as they do those who hire prostitutes maybe things would be different.
