WASHINGTON - In more fallout from reports of appalling conditions at the Army's top medical facility, Army Secretary Francis Harvey resigned Friday and President Bush announced a far-reaching investigation into the quality of health care for wounded soldiers.
Bush said he would appoint a bipartisan commission to examine the treatment of wounded military personnel ``from the time they leave the battlefield through their return to civilian life.'' He said he was ``deeply troubled'' by reports of substandard care at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where some recuperating veterans complained of being neglected and left in moldy, deteriorating facilities.
