Sunshine. As far as whistle blower protection in the military...we have it. If you lodge a formal complant against someone that person that is submitting it is supposed to be protected against any retaliation attempts. If it's then found out that the person who submitted the complaint was retaliated against then the retaliator's careers is over. The problem is that there are many ways to get back at someone w/o there being enough to claim retaliation. This is especially true in the military as your "superiors" have so much power over you.

In regards to the article about military doctors not being qualified to do what they are doing....there is a reason why soldiers who have serious medical issues that require surgery pray to be referred to a civilian doctor.
