Ft. Hood Doc

We know Ft. Hood, Cavazos, whatever it is, has had its share of problems.  Terrible chow halls (if there are actually ANY chow halls in the area in question) have headed the list, but issues with morale, housing…you name it, it has had problems. Kinda seems like the upper echelons of the chain of command there should be looked at – hard. Well, it could be worse. And is.

On October 17, 2025, the U.S. Army suspended Major Blaine McGraw, a gynecologist at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, after a patient accused him of secretly recording her during a gynecological exam. According to a lawsuit filed in Bell County under the pseudonym “Jane Doe,” McGraw allegedly pretended to take a phone call, placed his smartphone in his breast pocket, and filmed the patient while performing a pelvic and breast exam without consent. The civil complaint claims investigators later discovered thousands of photos and videos of women on his phone, including imagery taken at prior assignments.

Pretty sure there is free porn available almost anywhere on the Internet. Must be some visceral thrill to the whole trust betrayal thing that make s someone like him just CRAVE deserving getting his testicles kicked up into his medula oblonga. Heck, I’ll bet we could even find a volunteer or two here.

As a military physician, McGraw’s actions also fall under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. CID’s investigation could lead to prosecution under Article 120 (sexual assault) or Article 134 (conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline), depending on the evidence.

I know technically the military pen at Leavenworth’s designation is United States Disciplinary Barracks… hopefully he will find it is a PMITA slammer. But wait – there’s more.

The same lawsuit alleges McGraw’s earlier posting at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii generated prior misconduct complaints that Army leadership ignored, allowing him to continue treating patients. Following the October complaint, the Army Criminal Investigation Division opened a criminal investigation and removed McGraw from clinical duties. Officials told Stars and Stripes the hospital sent letters to roughly 1,400 patients, urging them to report any concerns to investigators. Attorneys now represent approximately 50 women who have joined the suit or filed related claims.

The complaint accuses McGraw of invasion of privacy, sexual assault, and medical negligence. Because the alleged conduct occurred in a federal facility, plaintiffs are also pursuing claims against the U.S. government under the Federal Tort Claims Act, arguing Army officials failed to properly supervise McGraw and dismissed prior complaints. If substantiated, that failure could make the Army liable for institutional negligence.  Military.com

So the Army KNEW there was a huge number of allegations against him in 2019, and yet still placed him where he could continue his wrong-doings? Transferred him, presumably to tamp down on the scandal, then facilitated his further actions?

The suit claims Army officials “gave cover to a predator in uniform” by ignoring earlier warnings and maintaining policies that failed to protect patients. Victims’ attorneys argue systemic neglect, rather than just one individual’s behavior, allowed abuse to persist. The Army has said publicly that it is reviewing “systems, clinical processes, and policies,” but has not clarified whether internal complaints at Fort Hood or Tripler were ever documented or investigated.

Above it says CID opened an investigation, yet now we see that nothing was supposedly documented? So who let this slide off quietly under the carpet?

I’m just a layman… but to me this sounds like the stuff of which “loss of command” is made.
