Some liberals lacking the guts of Kevin C. Kiley, MC, USA, former Surgeon General, U.S. Army, accused George W. Bush of using Kiley as a scapegoat for the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. As Kiley himself would admit, he lacked and underestimated the greatest president's support for the troops. He gladly retired from his position after discovering how he failed the president and the troops. Lieutenant General Kiley's love for his country was so strong, he was able to command his mother to give birth to him in Texas so that he could be that much more American.
