Project Assessment

[edit]

An alright start, but needs a better introduction and context. Nowhere in the introduction paragraph does it say what country this is taking place in, or the location of this Medical Center. These things should not just be assumed. Instead, begin with "The Walter Reed Army Medical Center of the US Army, located in Washington DC, is currently under allegations of neglect..." or something like that.

This article is filled with inaccuracies and half-truths that push an agenda instead of facts

[edit]

I'm pretty shocked to see this propaganda in wikipedia and on here unchallenged for so long. Why is there NO mention whatsoever of the privatization issue with KBR Halliburton and the Walter Reed scandal? The Walter Reed scandal is often used by corporatists and their pawns (average joe conservatives) to show how bad the govt. is with running health care. The only problem is that the TRUTH and FACTS of the matter is Walter Reed was basically privatized before and during the scandal. I'm sure they've been giddy with excitement that they can point to this errant wikipedia article for all the mistruths they need to promote their agenda stacked on top of lies.

It's time to get to work on this article so it represents... FACTS, not a conservative belief system based on half truths.

I am not seeing your POV argument here. I read through the articles and nothing is misrepresented here. I am sure contractors were supporting the misssion at walter reed, however no contract goes unwatch. Usual there is contracting officers in varying military and GS grades that oversee contracts and the contract. Much of the shortcomings was the bureaucracy. This article has stagnated for 2 years, removing POV tag --0pen$0urce (talk) 20:47, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was at WRAMC, and NO it isn't propaganda, YOU must NOT have. I was med evacd in, had to prove my station in OIF, got threatened more than once by cadre that if i spoke to reporters or congressional personal i would be "dealt" with. Heres one for you jack weazel ...one of my dear friends died of Serotonin Syndrome because of Zoloft interactions they knew about. The ARMY'S cadre at wramc were vile,cruel,and no souls. So learn what you're talking about before you open your jaw. 173.81.176.120 (talk) 15:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
