When I was on Active Duty, my “mentor”, I suppose I should call him, was a General Officer who had just been placed in Command at Walter Reed. He begged me to stay on Active Duty, even gave me a coin (I never was a “coin collector so I have only a few, this one, a CSGM of the Army at his retirement (he’d been a good friend and a patient) and a couple other “atta boys”). I watched as TPTB trashed his career over the conditions of the Visiting BOQ that wasn’t even ON Walter Reed property.

General Weightman was a good leader and a good officer. Yet he was thrown under the bus for “the sake of the Army.” A Cav. Officer once told me, “You Doctors are the worst, you EAT your young.” They eat the old as well. Watching what happened to him unfold made me rejoice in my choice to GTFO.
OK, thanks for sharing.
