The top U.S. general responsible for training the Afghan military and his deputy tried to impede their staff from contacting investigators about patient abuse at the largest military hospital in the war-torn country, according to the Pentagon’s inspector general.
The two generals sought in 2011 to restrict contact with a team of investigators probing allegations of corruption and substandard patient care -- including the starving of Afghan military patients and filthy conditions -- at Dawood National Military Hospital, according to an inspector general’s report obtained by Bloomberg News.
