I am glad that this father was able to do this, my husband was in Ft. Bragg for almost 3 months before getting to Afghanistan, and the things he told me about Ft Bragg made my stomach spin. He says that Afghan has better living conditions that Ft. Bragg. That is Horrible! These men and women are serving their country, and look how they have to live! I wrote several letters and made many phone calls, and never got a answer from anything. This morning I saw on the GMA about this investigation, and all I can say is thank you for taking that video! Hopefully our soldiers living quarters will be better from here on out!
We've seen this before! They will fix this problem but they won't fix each and EVERY Barracks & Vets/Rehab Hospitals Facilities. Temporary measures might be taken but our soldiers are NOT getting the best they deserve – and with a 300 Billion Budget!!!! The commanders know the situations – they decide what get priority and what suffers. If your Barracks have a Senator’s son or wealthy parents – you’ll be priority #1, get the only Iraq vacations and be the 1st deployed to return home. Our President takes a year’s worth of vacation during war-time while the soldiers he sent to war are forced to work years WITHOUT ONE days worth of vacation when they need it most. No other President in history – (US or other) has ever treated their soldiers with such disrespect. Every military dwelling should've been inspected and kept top shape from the 2007 Walter Reed scandal. They're killing themselves here & dying from lack of armorded tanks there. CHANGE? Stop campainging & do something now.
