The U.S. military has reversed a string of decisions that would have restricted access for severely wounded troops to a popular dining hall at Walter Reed hospital, after Fox News began reporting on complaints from veterans and their families.
The military earlier this month decided to invalidate meal tickets and reduce hours for the Warrior Cafe, the sole dining facility in building 62 -- home to all multiple amputees and long-term, recovering patients at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
The wife of one of the veterans affected by the decision told Fox News on Thursday that her husband, Sgt. Josh Wetzel, just received confirmation that the military was reversing course.

Friggin’ liberal scum... just like roaches when the lights come on.
Seriously... Who makes such an idiotic decision like this in the first place?
The Most stupid thing I ever hard of to start with.
Good on Fox news for bringing this to light and forcing the change,
Some idiot needs to be fired over this.
Let’s get a name here.
The decision was made by some PAWN , who is more concerned about his pension , than those who fought for the country !
Well those wounded soldiers will probably vote Republican. Better to direct that money to buy votes for Democrats instead.
That's the way these people think.
It’s probably the same idiot that said: Due to the sequestration there may be a cut back in medical benefits to veterans. That would be Obama.
Obama is the commander-in-chief and it’s his military right now. This happened on his watch and he needs to be called out on it.
Perhaps this violates some FR rule. If so, take this down. Otherwise, I encourage you to contact Walter Reed and tell them how much you appreciate the change of directive. Perhaps, ask for the name of the person responsible as well.

Unfortunately it probably won’t.
If not for Fox news these guys who fought for our country would have had to walk or crawl a half mile to get something to eat. What happens when it rains?
Some fool is running this mess/
Yes: and we have such a great Commander in Chief, living like a king while screwing over our heroes.
He’ll just claim that he only heard about it when somebody watched Fox News and then told him about it.
Let me just say **** obama!
Leave it to the government to close down an already established cafeteria to open a temporary food trailer a half mile away.
Looks like the turkey’s that did this took Obama’s “make it hurt” to heart.
Good for Fox News.
Sonsabitches. You gotta watch ‘em every g*****ed second.
Not a violation. Folks, be pleasant.
We should have had at least one Senator or Representative speaking out about this. Didn’t even hear crickets chirping.
When we speak of Senators and Representatives we are talking about people who are catered to and who do what they are told by people who have been there longer.
Only a precious few, Lie Ted Cruz actually think for themselves.
Not NOW-W-W-W! He's playing golf in his cute little shorts (Reggie loves those) and his adorable saddle-oxford golf shoes. He doesn't like hospitals and people missing body parts. Ew-w-w-w-w. He doesn't even like playing Commander-in-Chief, like, you know, Seal Team raids and stuff. Playing with Reggie, cards, of course, is way more fun.
If they wouldn't do anything about Nidal Hasan, don't hold your breath.
I had to laugh. Pete Olson, Rep for people in my area, has a great staffer named Josh that I send lots of stuff to. I did ask him if he was familiar with FR and he is so will probably read this.
Received email from Josh today saying that Pete Olson is now pushing the House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings against Obama.
Like there is nothing doable that he could push - like getting rid of spineless Boner or stop sending money to Brazil for a no-smoking campaign for Brazilian women, or defunding the Department of Education, Energy, EPA, Planned Parenthood and several others, like all the staffers paying for the increased cost of their health insurance under Obamacare rather than we few taxpayers picking up their cost in addition to our own.
Olson just doesn’t seem to get it.
Last time I complained about never hearing anything from Pete he came out with a press release about having a BBQ lunch with George Bush.
Just doesn’t seem to get it!
Ask if the Marines in A-stan have gotten their middies back yet?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
