WASHINGTON — The Army's top medical official has submitted his request for retirement to Pentagon officials amid a broadening scandal over poor health care for veterans returning from Iraq.
All signs were pointing to Army Surgeon General Kevin C. Kiley 's early retirement, which he made official by submitting paperwork on Sunday. Before becoming the Army's surgeon general, he was the top official in charge of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. A series of news reports by The Washington Post in February showed poor treatment and neglect of outpatient soldiers at the hospital, and the stories have precipitated a major shake-up at the Pentagon. ...
As far as this old dog's concerned the son of a bitch should be Court Martialed, busted down to orderly, and sentenced to 20 years emptying bedpans. And they're letting him retire as a General? "What did you know and when did you know it, Doctor? ... Then why the hell didn't you do something about it?"
