First reported by UPI on Friday and picked up by Reynolds then picked up by Drudge, this story is only seeing the light of day in Military papers. No FOX, no talk radio, nothing. Is it true? Nobody is backing down, but nobody is reporting it either. This story could be a fake. I have tried to contact Ft. Stewart, the Ft. Stewart Wives club etc., but nada.

Sick U.S. Troops Held In Squalor
United Press International

FORT STEWART - Hundreds of sick and wounded U.S. soldiers including many who served in the Iraq war are languishing in hot cement barracks here while they wait, sometimes for months, to see doctors.

The National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers' living conditions are so substandard, and the medical care so poor, that many of them believe the Army is trying push them out with reduced benefits for their ailments. One document shown to UPI states that no more doctor appointments are available from Oct. 14 through Nov. 11 - Veterans Day.

I'm sure you've read it already. If not go to Military dot com and read it.
