No headline for this one

This post is just plain ugly. It's about patients being sexually abused at Walter Reed Army Hospital.

And, it's about the way in which our troops are treated.

Details from the AJC

According to federal court documents, Burgess was one of at least three Walter Reed patients who were sexually abused that spring by a civilian medical technician who had a history of sexual molestations.

The incidents are the latest in a series of revelations of substandard conditions at the Army's premier medical center that have prompted congressional investigations, promises from President Bush to rectify the problems and resulted in the firing or resignation of several high-level generals and the Secretary of the Army.
