Shut Up and Smile, Soldier
Anyone surprised that the military is trying to keep a lid on conditions at Walter Reed?
But that ain't all, folks:
Military Press Crackdown Extends Further Than Walter Reed
"It is starting to look like it is becoming a policy in some areas where [military officials] are not allowing reporters on the base unless it is an absolutely positively good news story. The military is making it harder and harder to do stories on bases...They are trying to censor the news, in this case it is bad news. The military has gone into a bunker mentality."
The last thing the military and this criminal administration want is to hear active-duty soldiers publicly telling it like it is. Dying for the sake of freedom is one thing. But speaking freely is verboten.

That's the military mindset. Once you sign on the dotted line, they own and control you totally. It would be nice if they were honest and forthcoming about their failures, but not totally unexpected since they answer to a president who hasn't shown any inclinations along those lines.
