This is a first. Someone is finally being held accountable in this government. Let's just hope he is not being used as a scapegoat, and that permanent changes will be made in the way we treat and care for or national heroes.

The amazing thing is that they needed the media to report on this issue in order for anything to get done. Is it because the higher ups didn't know (which is inexcusable) or because they didn't care (which is also inexcusable)?

Although a 45-day Pentagon review has only started, Army officials informed Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman this morning that the nation's oldest military service had "lost trust and confidence in the commander's leadership abilities to address needed solutions for soldier-outpatient care" at the hospital. Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey made the decision yesterday, Army officials said.
