Army Surgeon General Retires

The Army Surgeon General is being removed due to conditions at Walter Reed.  He has asked to retire. I do not understand why these guys are not being charged with crimes and undergoing a legal process.  Here this man was paid with tax dollars . . he did not do his job, and hence caused undue pain and suffering and probably even deaths of our veterans and he will get to retire with what I am sure is a large tax funded retirement with full benefits.  Why isn't he (and others) facing court maritial and if not jail time, at least reduction of benefits (although I believe dismissal with NO benefits would be appropriate.)  I don't really care about why they say they didn't know about the conditions.  The good treatment of our men should have been their priority and if it was, they would have known about it. I think they are criminals.

I also think that top officials shouldn't get to just be treated at Bethesda. . it should be institution roulette. . one time at Bethesda, one time at Walter Reed, one time at etc.. . The institution the Presidient or another official that we are paying for the care for. . .should be chosen by lottery.  That would help to ensure that adequate tx standards are met across branches and throughout the system.
