Situation Report
CHARLOTTE, N.C.— A soldier in the bathroom of the USO Lounge at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport was reportedly screaming, "What have I done?" over and over again for several hours last Thursday.
Lounge attendant James Abrams says the screaming began at 8am and continued through noon with only small breaks for loud sobbing.
The soldier was identified as Pfc. Robert Bamford by his travel buddy, Pfc. Steven Albright. Albright stood close to the door knocking intermittently and asking if he was ok.
Albright informed the concerned active duty and veterans on hand that Bamford primarily enlisted in the military “because he wanted access to the USO.”
