" Soldiers Face Neglect, Frustration At Army's Top Medical Facility

By Dana Priest and Anne Hull

Washington Post Staff Writers

Sunday, February 18, 2007; Page A01

Behind the door of Army Spec. Duncan's room, part of the wall

is torn and hangs in the air, weighted down with black mold. When the

wounded combat engineer stands in his shower and looks up, he can see

the bathtub on the floor above through a rotted hole. The entire

building, constructed between the world wars, often smells like greasy

carry-out. Signs of neglect are everywhere: mouse droppings, belly-up

cockroaches, stained carpets, cheap mattresses... "
