It doesn't really matter. They would have to can at least a hundred other people in the VA to make a difference. All this is just smoke and mirrors. It will be business as usual after the spotlight dims down. The military has a long tradition of treating their wounded and disabled like garbage with an exception of a select handful they like to trot out in front of the media to make themselves look good.
Now the VA is taking retaliatory action against the wounded soldiers that blew the whistle on this.
This is typical military procedure. Force a couple scapegoats to retire and put a smoke screen until everything blows over and ire dies down then go back to treating the wounded like refuse. The military doesn't like spending money on the wounded and disabled because they are not getting any use out of those soldiers anymore.
It's a long tradition in the military. Just do a little research and you will find out that I am 100% correct on this.

Nope.
The guy had been in command for six months and inherited those problems that were caused by the Clinton-era budget cuts.
If he had refurbished those barracks - the Washington Post would have done an expose on his wasting taxpayer money to refurbish buildings that will be torn down in a couple of years.
Do you think that there was any way for him to win when the news media is out to do a hatchet job?

Relieve every one from Col. up to JCS and then let's start relieving the civilian leadership. The largest military budget on earth, every fancy gadget for killing that is available, but the real human cost of war.....hide it ,ignore it. Military contractors are pulling down billions but basic need for wounded troops and vets.
No money in it. The whole system needs fixing. Take the big money out of war and put it in helping people, not a hand out just a helping hand.

by potential of naming the recent CoD GhostS (be conscious that that's a plural, meaning different Ghosts) i'm especially confident they have certain you're finding on the filler between MW and MW2 a minimum of for a quick time. however the possibility exists that 'Ghost' isn't purely a individual or their nickname; particularly, 'Ghost' is a identify like 'King'; the mask is like an inherited image (crown) exceeded from one Ghost to the subsequent, meaning that S. Riley became in basic terms the main cutting-edge in a sequence of Ghosts probably going returned all a thank you to the start of the SAS in WWII and returned returned to the 'cutting-edge day' with TF-141, giving meaning to the identify 'Ghosts' particularly than in basic terms 'Ghost'. consequently, the sport may well be following a sort of Ghosts as they do and die.

There is nothing to be happy about, the General was just doing his best with limited resources.
In cases like this someone is made a scapegoat and Maj.Gen. Weightman was in the wrong job at the wrong time

He's a fall guy for the Republican political hacks in charge of the Pentagon.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way. He is now out of the way.

Probably, but I'm one of those who hadn't heard of him until your question.
