The Political Chase

Army Surgeon General fired for Walter Reed conditions

This is a bit late, but for the record, the Army Surgeon General, Lt. General Kevin C. Kiley, was fired yesterday for his role in the Walter Reed fiasco. Kiley, the top commander at Walter Reed until approximately six months ago, should have been the first to be ousted. KIley, as top Walter Reed Commander for several years, was well aware of the deplorable conditions and overall disregard for wounded soldiers transitioning to outpatient status. Moreover, when the Washington Post’s exposé first came out, Kiley was quite cavalier and said there was really nothing to it - much a do about nothing.
