Fly Thuglican Air, More than half our flights don't crash

The Army's surgeon general, Lt. General Kevin Kiley, says in an interview with Judy Woodruff that things aren't so bad at Walter Reed because, my heavens, more than half the rooms are okay!

LT. GEN. KEVIN KILEY: Well, I think it's not that we weren't aware that that building needs and requires continued maintenance and upkeep. And since 2001, we've had two overhauls and one major renovation.

In the last year, we've done over 200 what we call "work orders" to fix things that were, again, reported in the paper. It's an old building. You can walk into it today, and if you walk into it six months from now, you're going to find issues.

Senior leaders, platoon sergeants, company commanders, brigade commanders should be walking through those facilities at least on some kind of a periodic basis. But, remember, more than half the rooms were actually perfectly OK.


I suppose he would be happy flying on an airline that boasted that more than half it's flights didn't crash.
