Fuck this BULLSHIT.

Geez, imagine soldiers, wounded or not, having to keep their rooms clean.

It's a BCE conspiracy.

Take what you're given, know your role and shut yer mouth.

No way do I think it's ok...

The Army likes to handle things "internally" and doesn't like to get black eyes from the press.

Used to be an old anecdote for crybabies....."if you don't like it, call your congressman."

Complaining to the press about ANYTHING is a no-no to them, and political attention scares the brass shitless.

But at least they finally got results.

Ship those "ranking officers" off to Iraq, Afghanistan, or any other unfinished losing war BushCO has started.

I thought you didn't want troops sent over there?!

Are ranking officers considered "troops"

I don't see many listed in the KIA lists, that's for sure.

It's the 19-20 year old cannon fodder dying for BushCO over there.

As suspected, the General claimed ignorance to the situation.

But what's worse is his replacement may have known about the situation as far back as '03 and may get the axe as well.

What Would Patton Do?

Fuck, imagine soldiers, wounded or not, having to be kept in quarters that look and smell like ass after they get back to the world, having already took a bullet.

That would tell me what priority level we're on while the Chair Force get permanent duty barracks with carpeting and private bathrooms.

Someone would definitely get a mop handle shoved up their ass.

I'd probably request a GP small.

He would probably slap Bush with his ivory handeled pistols for being a dunce.:D

Patton would have rolled into that place blazing away with slaps. "You sumbitches treating my wounded men this way, well I'll be DAMNED!!!!!!!!!"

Damn...I see a movie being written as we speak.

Nicholson gets demoted to a 2 star general in charge of an infirmary after serving 15 years for a giving out a code red at Gitmo. Cruise is the washed up lawyer who converted to scientology and hopes to revive his career by going up his old arch enemy.



"I sleep 30 yards from wounding weeping men who cry for their mommy when they don't receive their pudding with their meal! You wanted the truth!

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

The truth is never as sexy as hollywood makes it out to be...

Unless your name is George S. Patton or Audie Murphy.

And even then "artistic liberty" is taken for entertainment value.:p

Patton probably would have led all the other generals up to the White House and dragged Chimp & Cheney out by their collars, by now.

What he did after that, I can only guess :D

Don't take me wrong, I agree with you.

I'm simply disputing the point LardMachine made when he thought inspections were wrong.

Building 18, by all accounts, was a travesty to the honor of our soldiers. They deserve better.

For those who don't know, Building 18 was a barracks across the street from the main hospital. It was a living quarters for troops that were assigned to Walter Reed on an outpatient basis for treatment.

I was a patient for about a month in Walter Reed a few years back. I can assure everybody that the main building of Walter Reed is in good shape. I've been up there as recently as a few months back on business and have seen it thoroughly.

However, just because the main building is in good shape does not relieve the command of ensuring ALL buildings are the best they can be. Our men and women deserve nothing less.

That goes for all other services and their facilities also.
