Washington (eCanadaNow) - The US army’s top doctor has resigned, military officials said Monday, widening a scandal over poor medical care for US troops wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Lieutenant General Kevin Kiley, the US Army’s surgeon general, was the third official to lose his job over the problems centred on the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington. US President George W Bush has ordered an inquiry into medical care for injured soldiers.
Kiley, 56, asked to retire from the Army to allow the service to focus on the investigation, an Army statement said.
“I submitted my retirement because I think it is in the best interest of the Army,” Kiley was quoted as saying.
He was replaced by Major General Gale Pollock, the Army’s deputy surgeon general.
The scandal erupted after the Washington Post newspaper detailed squalid conditions, poor outpatient care and bureaucratic obstacles at Walter Reed, where many soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan are treated.
This month, the 98-year-old hospital’s commanding general was fired and US Army Secretary Francis Harvey resigned.
Kiley has been Army surgeon general since September 2004. He commanded an Army field hospital in Saudi Arabia during the 1990-91 Gulf War and later headed the Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre in Germany.

White boy, don't be a fool! Don't fight for the Jews! You can be more than a thugs and an expendable shield for them! They will send you to kill innocent Arabs and ruin their countries! They will waste the best years of your life. They will use you up and throw you away like a worthless piece of trash when you are mutilated or dead.
Went up on the signal hill where I made my stand,
Bullets in my pocket, a semi-auto in my hand,
I've been all around the world, so
put the needle in my arm and I'll be dead and gone.
