The General shows neither honor or good ethics. He displays that quality of lust for a bit better retirement income, when in fact, he should have stood to courts martial. His treatment of our servicemen and women; the neglect shown under his command was reprehensible. And yet, he'll retire at the highest paygrade possible and his buddies will make certain that happens. I guess that's just America, especially under the administration of GWB and his mindset. But, it's not American! Saddened to see all the hate comments in either direction, some of you folks need to get a grip….

Are you kidding me? What about all the soldiers who thought they were going to receive the proper medical care they deserve for fighting this point-less war. Little did they know that this Army Surgeon General was just marking off the days in his calendar until September so he can retire as a fraud 3 star general. Yeah he may be one of the many scapegoat's this Empire has used but, doesn't mean he isn't responsible for what he allowed to happen in Walter Reed and facilities. He should be force out as a 2 star reduced to a 1 star and then court martialed for what he's done. He has suffered enough? Are you kidding me?

Although none of us may like it because of the disgusting way US service personnel were treated (or, perhaps, maltreated), there is generally a right to retire with full benefits if a service member reaches a point two years to eighteen months from retirement. My guess is that Army lawyers advised the Department to acknowledge this and let him serve out his three years quietly.

Issue such as global poverty needs to be address by our candidates to each other and to the general public. As one of the nations that has pledge to fulfill the goals of Millennium Development Project, whose goal is the elimination of world hunger and poverty, the Bush Administration has not shown any substantial action to bring this fundamental problem to a stop. According to the Borgen Project, dedicated to fighting and ending Poverty around the world, only $19 billion dollars are needed annually to stop world wide poverty, hunger and malnutrition. However, more than $340 billion dollars has been poured into this “war on terror.” And each year, our country has a military budge of $522 billion dollars. It's time for a new leader who will be addressing an issue that affects 1.2 billion people everyday worldwide.
