MILITARY -- SOLDIER RETURNS TO FORT BRAGG TO FIND LIVING CONDITIONS THAT 'SHOULD BE CONDEMNED': When Sgt. Jeff Frawley of the 82nd Airborne returned to his barracks at Fort Bragg, NC after a 15-month deployment in the mountains of Afghanistan, he encountered living conditions that "
should be condemned." His father, Ed Frawly,
posted a video on YouTube documenting the "disgusting" conditions: a building "which appears to be falling apart and filled with mold and rust," lead-based paint chipping, ceiling tiles missing, and a broken drain pipe allowing sewer gas into the building. But "[p]hotos from the communal bathroom show some of the
most disgusting images. In one, a soldier stands in a sink to avoid what Frawley describes as 3 inches of sewage water that filled the floor when toilets overflowed." "Sewage water backs up into the sinks in the lower floors of these barracks," Frawley said in his narration of the video. Officials at the base have invited the media into the barracks and the Pentagon has said it corrected the problems at Fort Bragg. But as Frawley told ABC News: "When I left a week ago yesterday, they were working on it, but
they had a long way to go."
