Yes, they have eyes and can read...my hubby was at WR for 10 days in April, after Iraq....he knows this and would never dream of posting it on an open forum.
Other people read this forum, too. Some of them work for the military and maybe even at Walter Reed. By posting the problem in public, it opens the possibility that someone, somewhere will do something to fix it.
It's sort of like when reporters sneak fake weapons through airport security to show the TSA's failings. Would you rather that they not expose the problem?
Hope that your husband is OK and thanks for your families sacrafice.
