Ed Frawley Administrator Reg: 07-11-2001 Posts: 2112 Loc: Offline	This is starting to get some legs. Senator Dole called the secretary of the army today wanting to know whats going on here? Here are a few news articles. My son was interviewed for the local TV station: http://www.charlotte.com/205/story/596507.html http://www.fayobserver.com/article?id=292386 http://www.wral.com/news/state/story/2795856/ http://news14.com/content/top_stories/595233/dole--army-looking-into-barracks/Default.aspx http://www.blueridgenow.com/article/20080425/APN/804251067//NC_barracks_video_draws_attention_to_conditions http://vinnysa1store.blogspot.com/2008/04/video-fort-bragg-barracks-youtube-video.html Frawley@leerburg.com http://www.leerburg.com

Connie Sutherland Moderator Reg: 07-13-2005 Posts: 31571 Loc: North-Central coast of California Offline	QUOTE from the 1st one: RALEIGH, N.C. -- A video shot by the father of an 82nd Airborne Division soldier that shows poor conditions such as mold in a barracks at Fort Bragg caught the attention Friday of a U.S. senator and high-ranking Army officials. Ed Frawley, a dog breeder from Menomonie, Wis., posted the narrated video on YouTube.com on Tuesday after traveling to North Carolina to welcome his son, Sgt. Jeff Frawley, home from a 15-month tour in Afghanistan. END GOOD JOB, ED!

Senator Dole called the secretary of the army today wanting to know whats going on here? Congrats, Ed! Your video is getting a lot of righteous attention and apparently will generate some quick action. From the article: ". . . One problem was that maintenance and repairs weren't complete because the soldiers in C Company, 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, came home three weeks ahead of schedule, he said." Uh-huh, like I'm gonna believe that the Army would have had that space real spiffy looking in 3 weeks? Get me a mirror. I want to see if I look that stupid. Mike Suppose you were an idiot. Suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. -Mark Twain

If the troops came home early maybe they where to inhabit another of barracks, that a group waiting to be deployed is living in atm. That is not an excuse for the conditions!
