Abstract

The article examines how the U.S. military medical system fails to provided accountability for errors related to the health examination, treatment and records of active-duty service members. It covers federal laws which keep investigations at military hospitals and clinics confidential, leading to criticism from military members and families over the lack of transparency and honesty. Particular attention is given to the death of Air Force recruit T.J. Moore who died during training.
