A US military C-17 transport aircraft that usually carries at least 100 troops flew to Geneva Airport to pick up Secretary of State John Kerry and flew him to Boston where he'll be treated for a broken leg. The Air Force plane touched down in Switzerland on Monday after taking off from a US base in Ramstein, Germany, and then headed to Massachusetts after collecting the 71-year-old politician. Kerry tweeted out 'big thanks' to his well-wishers and said he looked forward to getting his leg set and getting back to work at the State Department.

Massive military transport plane picks up John Kerry
I can picture it now!!
LOLL! I was gonna say what else could they fit his gigantic horse face swollen head in to? Yeah, he’s a shining example of why the US is once again the most respected country in the world. Yeah, right.
From what I read, he broke it during a staged publicity shoot.
POS should be left to fend for himself in the French medical system.
What’s interesting is that you have to go to the foreign press to read stories like this. It’s almost like the MSM is afraid to report the truth (or don’t want to).
Something does not add up here. there are medical facilities in Europe that could do an excellent job not withstanding the American hospitals in Germany.
This appears to me as an excuse not to participate in the Iranian nuclear mess. It was conveniently announced that he would not be able to participate anymore.
Perhaps the whole thing is falling apart and he does not want to be humiliated but honestly it is hard to believe he could not get a simple broken leg fixed in Europe. There is a bigger story here.
A C-17 is necessary in keeping with the government’s program relating to Global Warming.
They have a ‘tote-package’ they push onboard and it’s used for injured/wounded troops on a daily basis. Personally, I would have stayed a couple of days at the local hospital.
Apparently a C-5 was not available.
And how much did THAT cost the American taxpayer?
With that giant horse face he is lucky they didn’t shoot him over a broken leg. Lol
Whoo-hoo...only one hand and I'm still in complete control!
Apparently a C-5 was not available...?
nor the space shuttle.
One hand and wearing flip flops too, not good.
Silly you its OK cause he’s walking a dog and on a girls bike!
I;d have thought that the local medical treatment would have been quite good.
The next guy made responsible for getting obama this deal better get it done quick or he will get both legs broken.
This whole event is highly suspect, either kerry wanted out of this mess or obama wanted him out, I suspect the latter!
From what I can make of the news reports, the femur break was close to his hip replacement. The top of the femur is used in that replacement & Kerry wanted the surgeon who did the hip replacement to deal with the femur issue, thus the return to the US for surgery.
The following is all just speculation and mental meanderings on my part. I would love more details. The femur is a very large bone and normally, it takes a lot of force to break it or something else unusual happening. I wouldn’t think running into a curb and falling/flipping off your bike (if that’s what happened) would generate enough force to break a femur; however, if the bone was compromised somewhat where it was involved with the hip replacement, then that would explain a lot.
