Barracks for Charlie

An outraged father recently posted a video of the unsanitary conditions of his son’s army barracks at Fort Bragg, NC. Jeff Frawley, a 22 year-old soldier in the 82nd Airborne, just completed a fifteen month deployment to Afghanistan—only to return to U.S. military housing rife with molding walls, defective gas pipes, and leaking sewage. “The instant you walk through the front door,” Sgt. Frawley’s father says, “you know you’re entering a building that should be condemned.” The father is asking viewers to write their congressional representative to demand better conditions for our men and women in uniform.
