In a series of interviews with The Intercept, Amanda Feindt, a U.S. Army major and former whistleblower, described a grueling pattern of obfuscation in which military officials refused to answer questions about her child’s treatment, and claimed not to have the attendant evidence. interc.pt/4uA5ZwA
