FOLLOW UP ON THE CANDID REMARKS TO ABC NEWS.

The Fort Stewart, Ga.-based 3rd ID has been the focus of intense media attention since last week, when soldiers from the division told a television reporter that they were tired, unhappy with the mission and angry with their leaders.

The incident was quickly followed by additional comments to various media outlets from other soldiers and spouses of deployed troops.

Capt. James Brownlee, spokesman for the 3rd ID’s 2nd Brigade in Fallujah, a restive city about 30 miles west of Baghdad, said Wednesday that none of the soldiers who made negative remarks to the press has been punished.

“Nothing has happened to any of them,” he said.

However, the original incident, in which several 2nd Brigade soldiers voiced unusually candid opinions to an ABC News reporter, is under a “15-6” investigation, Brownlee said.
