Army Secretary Who Resigned Over Walter Reed Given Lavish Farewell Ceremony

Think Progress has the story.



"Army Secretary Francis Harvey resigned last week after the neglect and squalor at Walter Reed military hospital was exposed by the Washington Post.
Harvey not only oversaw these conditions, but chose to place Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley — who had been personally aware for years about the problems and apparently done nothing — back in control of the hospital. That decision was reversed days later by Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
Despite the terms of his resignation, Harvey today was given a celebratory farewell ceremony at the large Conmy Hall in Virginia, pictured below. ThinkProgress obtained a media advisory promoting the event, which states that Army chief of staff Peter Schoomaker would be hosting the “farewell ceremony in honor” of Harvey."

Scumbags. They think they can get away with anything and then get handsomely rewarded for it. This is true filth, and it's just one more despicable outrage in a long list of shitting on us this week.
