Fort Carson allegations

Three senators have asked the Pentagon to open an investigation into allegations of inadequate treatment — and even punishment — of soldiers at Fort Carson who seek help or treatment for mental health problems after returning from Iraq.

The allegations were made by soldiers who said their superiors refused to allow them to seek treatment for mental health problems. One was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

So begins a story in Army Times. The whole thing is here. For some context, see my earlier post about this.

One of the three senators is Barack Obama, who might well be the next president.
