VIP ward at Walter Reed gets scrutiny
By Gregg Zoroya, USA TODAY
Disclosures of substandard housing for troops
treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are prompting Congress to
investigate whether the Army is running a plush ward at the complex for
VIPs at the expense of ordinary war casualties.
House investigators are asking "if the
allocations of resources is in any way adversely impacting the treatment
of the troops," Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass., told USA TODAY in response
to inquiries about the six-suite ward. Tierney leads a House
subcommittee investigating allegations of poor care at Walter Reed. "Our
nation's military, our returning heroes, are the true VIPs," he said.

The large, comfortable suites on the hospital's
top floor are reserved for the president, the vice president, federal
judges, members of Congress and the Cabinet, high-ranking military
officials and even foreign dignitaries and their spouses. The only
enlisted members of the military who are eligible to stay there are
recipients of the Medal of Honor.
The suites have carpeted floors, antique
furniture and fine china in the dining rooms. That's a stark contrast to
mold- and mice-ridden housing that some wounded troops had been found
to be living in.
