The scandal at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, which was uncovered by the Washington Post, has sent ripples through the Department of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the White House. Today's latest is the Army Surgeon General submitting his resignation from his position. Lt. Col. Kevin C. Kiley resigned from his position today after intense media and public scrutiny of his actions.
After putting an abundance of political stress on the Democrats in Congress for allegedly being against funding our troops, the stress is now on the president who is feeling the heat from the public. After an emphasis on caring for our troops when in battle, the current administration never bothered to take care of soldiers after they return from battle in service to our country in a farce of a war. The Washington Post, over the course of the past several weeks, have uncovered the harsh conditions in which the soldiers live when they are revived from the pain of war.
Is this latest resignation another case of someone else taking the fall for members of the Bush administration? Who knows at this point how much this President knew about what was going on at Walter Reed. All we know is that our troops must be cared for, and the administration can no longer wiggle their way out of hypocrisy with political opposition games. It is time for them to be held accountable for their lies.
