Update: Barracks at Fort Bragg
“They just did 15 months for you, give them 15 minutes of your time.”
I can’t say it any better than the Dad of a soldier did in this video.
Update: Here is some salve for the disillusioned soul; proof one man can make a difference.
Army widens probe after finding bad conditions at Fort Bragg
.. Rogers said it was too soon to know whether the Fort Bragg problem was an isolated incident. He acknowledged the revelations from a video shot by the father of an 82nd Airborne Division soldier showing poor conditions such as mold inside the barracks, peeling interior paint and a bathroom drain plugged with sewage.
The soldier’s father, Ed Frawley, said he was disgusted by the conditions that greeted his son and the rest of his 82nd Airborne unit that returned on April 7-8 after a 15-month tour of duty in Afghanistan.
“We let our soldiers down, and that’s not like us,” Rogers told reporters. “We let our soldiers down. That’s not how we want America’s sons and daughters to live. There’s no good excuse for what happened.”
A marvelous story with an inspiring conclusion.
