Study: Thousands of veterans return with mental illness

Another cost of war no one thinks about...the mental health of our troops. Mental illness is real. They've seen things most of us will never imagine...of couse they are haunted.

KILEY OUT!

Lt Gen Kiley is out as the surgeon general of the Army. And of course he's requesting retirement. He should be kicked out on his ass. I take issue with CNN saying he is the latest casualty. He's no such thing. Casualty makes one think of victim. He's no victim.

And let me say its not just the Iraq War veterans who are treated bad. Its military servicemembers period.

Army secretary gets the boot amid Walter Reed scandal

The second hit belongs to the Secretary of the Army Francis Harvey. Well now I'm surprised all these high level Army personnel are the casualties of this Walter Reed mess. Ordinarily, its some lowly schmuck who has to take one for the team. But even the Army isn't dumb enough to think they can't punish people at the lowest level for this mess. Oh wait, for the sake of being accurate he wasn't punished or fired....he resigned. Uh huh, yeah.

Army fires commander of Walter Reed

Well, it didn't take long for someone to get fired due to the Walter Reed debacle. I'm surprised it was a two-star general. I guess the Army is tired of getting all the bad press for the way it treats its soldiers. Someone has to bite the bullet and I'm sure Maj Gen Weightman is glad he's the one. He will be replaced by Lt Gen Kiley. Yes, that Kiley. The one who lived across the street from Building 18 and didn't know what was going on.
