A fine hospital! I worked air evac from 1998 to 2002. Great experience.

Everyone that makes such a big deal about the conditions at Army facilities hasn't been in the Army. I was at Walter Reed for 3 years and many other places and we always joked that we could get better facilities in prison than the military. It is good that things are improving; but, poor living conditions are not new. We knew we weren't there for our comfort. We were there to serve America. Liberals usually cry over this only if a conservative is in office. They hate the military otherwise.

You hadn't been to building 18? God damnit. They gave so much and you don't have the time to show your face.
