Army Secretary Francis Harvey resigned last week after the neglect and squalor at Walter Reed military hospital was exposed. Harvey not only oversaw those conditions, but placed Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley-- who had been aware for years of the problems and apparently did 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 was given a celebratory farewell ceremony (pictured above). In his farewell Harvey said, “I am leaving your ranks saddened,” but claimed that the “well-being of soldiers has always been my highest priority.”
