Locked and loaded diaries

Pv2 Caleb Smither was left to die in his barracks room on Ft Bragg only seven weeks and 4 days after reporting to base-his first duty station. After hitting his head on a vehicle in the motor pool. Pv2 Smither was turned away from Womack Army medical center 3 times. After being given a sedative and pain meds, he was put on quarters. Pv2 Caleb Smither died on the floor of his barracks room because no one checked on him. Womack failed this Soldier. His chain of command failed him. Who doesn't check on a brand spanking new troop who had to come to the formation with NVG's on because he was in so much pain? He lie in his room for 5 days before someone finally opened his door. Before that, Soldiers on his floor sprayed Febreeze around his door! But no one was held accountable. This is medical malpractice. This is negligent homicide.
