Muslim women abuse soldier at troops hospital | the Daily Mail

I would have been fuming! It is a disgrace that the military has to get armed guards to protect themselves in their hospital beds.

Muslim women abuse soldier at troops hospital | the Daily Mail: "In recent months the standard of treatment for soldiers at Selly Oak has been widely criticised. Military personnel have called for greater protection and privacy away from civilian patients and visitors.

CSM Powell works as a welfare officer for soldiers wounded while fighting insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan. He was on a regular visit to the wards when the incident occurred on May 10.

He told officers about the abuse but declined to lodge an official complaint. He feared such a negative report would adversely affect the morale of young soldiers who are flown to Selly Oak from the battlefield with horrific injuries.

A colleague said: 'He is normally a very placid character, a gentle giant. But he was fuming, understandably, after what happened."
