It’s really just unbelievable that in all his time there, he didn’t go to Ibn Sina (a walk through the Green Zone) or Balad (20-30 minute copter ride) hospitals, and then came up with this cockamamie (but easily resolved) “roadblock” to visiting Landstuhl.
Pretty obvious that he really had no intention of visiting any hospitals. He is not liked by the troops in the field, and would be shamed by the wounded heroes.
I'll put it this way...if he did, nobody knows about it. And I "live" very close to the CASH. And if Barry had gone there, there's no way it wouldn't have been trumpeted all over the place by the drive-bys.
(Isn't it funny how we have to say "Green Zone" so people will know what we're talking about? Nobody really says "Green Zone" here. Sometimes, we jokingly refer to it as "BHFGZ." Think the very standard media name for it. LOL)
