Soldier with colostomy is real Shitbag

Filed · 1539

FORT HOOD — Master Sgt. Willy Peters is a Wounded Warrior who received the Purple Heart for being wounded in action in Afghanistan, and underwent a colostomy as a result of his injuries. According to soldiers in his unit, 4th Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, Peters is also a total shitbag.

“Look, I don’t want to talk shit about a guy who can’t poop right because he got hurt in Afghanistan,” confided Spc. Erin Brooks, a personnel clerk in the company where Peters was the first sergeant before his injury, “but Top never really did all that much. He came back from lunch smelling like whiskey, he couldn’t spell to save his life, and he spent PT hours ‘planning the day’s operations’ in his office.”

After spending six months in Walter Reed Medical Center undergoing various surgeries to repair the wounds he received, Peters was transferred back to Fort Hood. His doctors felt that it would help his mental state if he could work with his old unit a few hours a day. There, Peters does light administrative work while still attending physical therapy with gastrointerologists at the hospital complex in nearby Temple, Texas, which is something of a medical industry mecca.
