At Walter Reed, there is a young soldier whom has been paralyzed from the neck down because he was out jewelry-shopping with a Colonel and a senior NCO, with no force protection. He had stayed behind in the HUMVEE while the other 2 were in the store. A man stepped out of a crowd and fired a bullet into his neck. Some of my troops were supposed to accompany them on this "shopping spree", but they never met up with them. Later that day, I was reading the Daily Significant Activities Report and saw mention of the shooting. There was a not-so-subtle difference: The team had been conducting a "mosque assessment" and they had been accompanied by force protection. This is a bald-faced lie and the entire incident was covered-up.

If this account is true. The man telling the account should have the guts toget the story out. He should also have the courage to sign his name to the account. I'm not saying it didn't happen or it couldn't happen.I'm just saying that if it did someone should step forward and hold these people accountable.
