After CBS affiliated WWMT's exclusive look Thursday night at a Battle Creek soldier's disturbing military rite of passage, we're getting calls from lawmakers and military leaders alike.

Back in April, a fellow soldier recorded Phillip Roach's unauthorized promotion ceremony at Fort Bragg, just weeks after hazing related suicides at Fort Bragg led to Congressional hearings.

On Capitol Hill, military leaders promised to crack down on the practice.

The video stops short of showing seizures Roach's father says his son experienced as a result of the blow.

His father came to WWMT, concerned about the hazing and how the military responded to it.
