Ed Frawley Posted Video on YouTube to Expose Conditions at Fort Bragg

When Edward Frawley went to welcome home his 22-year-old son, who was returning from a tour of duty with the 82nd Airborne Division in the mountains of Afghanistan, he was in for a shock.

Not to hear the stories about Jeff's battles with insurgents, but to witness his son's current living conditions at Fort Bragg, N.C.

So, Frawley did what any concerned citizen does — he posted a video on YouTube two weeks ago, containing still photos of moldy ceiling panels, broken toilet seats, backed up sewage water flooding a bathroom, exposed pipes — and demanded that viewers contact their congressmen.

Who does this guy think he is? Doesn’t he know that we must send 15 billion dollars to Africa to fight AIDS first?
Doesn’t he realize that we need to borow billions of dollars from China to send out tax ‘rebates’? Doesn’t he know that we have to provide the TERRORISTS gourmet halal meals and hot showers, and korans, and legal representation, and...

[miliantnutcase]

Africa gets billions in thrown away money and our guys get to live in moldy barracks.

What the hell happened to Fort Bragg ? It was beautiful when I left it . Of course Nixon was President then . This is no way to treat the soldiers of the 82nd , America’s guard of honor .

[ExTexasRedhead]

Obviously, there’s a stark contrast between how our troops are treated and housed compared to the elected human waste in DC who think of themselves as royalty and live in luxury. I highly recommend housing Reid, Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry, Murtha, Queen Clintoon, and the rest of the DC slimes in moldy quarters like they expect our soldiers to live in.

Of course Nixon was President then

LOL! Just a guess but these guys are gone so much I have a feeling there is not much left behind to keep up the buildings.

That said, I'm sure the civilians that make up the post facility engineers will be (hopefully) used to maintain the barracks instead of hanging out at Burger King

(yes, it's a joke)

Drove my son to St Louis to make his flight to Germany last year and stopped at Ft Campbell on the way up.

It's been 24 years since I was last there (sure as heck doesn't seem like it) and I could barely find my way around the place. And so much new!! The PX also seemed to be BIGGER than a Wal-Mart!

Wish I hadn' seen this just as I'm headed for bed - won't get to sleep easy.

My dear grandson that grew up in my home is with the 173rd Airborne - Battle Co. - in that very Province his son was - 5 more months to go on 15 - they have been in more firefights than is believable - if he comes back to this - they're going to have one mad as a hornet gramma after them...or, as my grandson calls me, with a smile: "My awesome rabble-rousing gramma"

(I AM a trouble maker)

What do you expect from carpetbaggers?

[RaceBannon]

They established a committe??

Back in the OLD Marine Corps, we would have just gone out and bought paint and scrub brushes and started on the job ourselves!

We had Utilities people, our own plumbers and even had Seabees for the big stuff, what is wrong with the army to need a committe to clean up the barracks???

YES, I saw the video!

[toldyou]

Why am I so tired of people complaining about every damn thing?

Suck it up!

Foxholes aren’t plush, either, dad!

[stylin19a]

I was thinkin the same thing. I'd be scrapin paint by now.
Not because I volunteered, but because I was volunteered.

[baa39]

FYI, that $15 billion for Africa was later doubled to 30, and then Congress in a last minute burst of charitable fervor increased it yet again, the final vote approved a total of 50 BILLION DOLLARS of OUR TAX MONEY.

[antiunion person]

THIS IS WHAT I POSTED ON THE ABC COMMENT SECTION..

All the posts are blaming the current administration for these problems. People conveniently forget that the Clinton administration cut budgets by 50%. That’s why the military branches are so short staffed. When I was in, at the latter part of the Carter years in office, it was much worse than this. When Reagan, my hero, got into office, he raised the salaries of the troops and improved the conditions for the troops. Whenever a democrat is president, the military budgets get cut and when a republican gets in, they try to bring the conditions up. I realize it’s bad for the troops on military posts and bases all over the country but when the Congress refuses to increase allocations for new constructions and renovations, it’s not the president’s fault. EVERYONE in the chains of command can help improve the living conditions for the troops. Last thought, most civilians in the support areas of military bases don’t give a damn for the troops. All they want is a job, a pay check and benefits which usually are far better than the troops they support. ME, ME, ME. That’s what everyone says until a situation like this happens, then it HIM, HIM, HIM. No one will take the blame. It will never change.

You obviously you have no problem with government standing by winking and nodding, and actually aiding and abetting millions entering this country illegally, while this government makes us pay billions at gun point, to subsidized, house, and pay the medical expenses for these millions of illegals.

It's costing this country billions, while our own people are shoved to the back of the line, and people like you tell them to, "Suck it up".

Nice.

[toldyou]

This has nothing to do with illegals. This thread isn’t about them.

[SENTINEL]

Imagine the uproar if a prison was ever found in such disrepair.

It's disgusting.

Ya know, I've got to the point where I can't watch *any* politician or government official on television without being offended and pissed off.

If they're lips move, they're lying.
