Wounded soldiers at Walter Reed ordered not to speak to reporters
Surprise, surprise, surprise. Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center’s Medical Hold Unit have been told that they must awake up at 6 a.m. every morning and have their rooms ready for inspection at 7 a.m.
Also on an unrelated matter, they are not to speak to the media.
Instead of telling a reporter how bad their living conditions are, they are to use the chain of command.
For those of you who have not been in the military, daily room inspections are used as a form of punishment. The military may not be able to outright punish a service member for speaking to a reporter, but they certainly can and will punish you for having dust on a light bulb.
