''Army retaliated against war-wounded whistle-blower''

read more............from federal times......


"After being wounded by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2004, Army counterintelligence specialist Mike Helms endured a bureaucratic nightmare trying to get treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder and other injuries.

He wrote or called numerous congressmen, Defense Department executives, newspapers (including Federal Times), even then-President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

According to an inspector general's report obtained by Federal Times, the Army then retaliated against Helms for blowing the whistle on the poor treatment he received."
