Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center's Medical Hold Unit say they have been told they will wake up at 6 a.m. every morning and have their rooms ready for inspection at 7 a.m., and that they must not speak to the media.
"Some soldiers believe this is a form of punishment for the trouble soldiers caused by talking to the media," one Medical Hold Unit soldier said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
It is unusual for soldiers to have daily inspections after Basic Training. This is the respect, dignity and care the Pentagon gives to the men and women who have served our nation so valiantly.
Bush "certainly was aware" of conditions at Walter Reed. So what is he doing about it? Not a damn thing. Not even talking about it. Half a trillion spent on Iraq, and they can't afford to hire someone to patch the holes and clean up the mold and mouse-shit from our wounded soldiers' hospital rooms. Probably doesn't pay enough for Halliburton to be interested.
