The US Army Surgeon General, Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley, the man who reportedly let an injured soldier at Walter Reed sleep in his own urine rather than help him, has finally resigned. About time. Now let's see if he's getting full retirement benefits and an honorable discharge after abusing so many of our injured and maimed soldiers.
The new Secretary of the Army, the current Secretary of Defense, and our glorious commander in chief would like us to believe that they now "get" the Walter Reed scandal. Okay. Then why is the "doctor" who oversaw the abuses at Walter Reed for two years, and did little about it - the guy who let one of our wounded soldiers sleep in their own urine even though he was begged to do something about it by a GOP congressman's wife - our favorite Lieutenant General Kevin C. Kiley, M.D., still the Army's Surgeon General?
Why is Urine Man still the Army Surgeon General? This guy is not just a doctor, he's the Army's top doctor, still, even though we know now that under his "care" our troops, his patients, were abused for years.
In the real world, this man would be facing the potential loss of his medical license. In the Bush administration, he gets to be the top doctor of the entire Army during war time. Bush still doesn't get it.
