OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Congresswoman Mary Fallin says she wants the Army to investigate allegations that members of the Oklahoma National Guard's 45th Infantry Brigade are not being regularly fed in Iraq. Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz says Fallin's office has been told members of the 45th at Camp Bucca are working 9-hour shifts without being served lunch. The issue was first raised by the father of an Oklahoma soldier who contacted Oklahoma City television station KOCO. Howard Fleshman he received an e-mail from his daughter Kristy and is concerned about the well-being of Oklahoma soldiers. A spokeswoman for Congressman Tom Cole says Cole is also looking into the matter.
