What did the Army do after the WaPo covered serious issues with facilities at some of the long term care facilities at Walter Reed Army Medical Center? Here’s what:
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 only a small bit of the change. NavyTimes details all of the other changes, including reassignments for platoon sergeants, some sergeants being relieved of duty, and killing media projects planned for the facility. After all, it’s the soldiers, sergeants, and media’s fault.
Ah, the Bush administration. I so can’t wait until you’re history.
