Throwing Stones at the Army

Employment attorney John Phillips on the criticism currently being directed at the Army over the Fort Hood murders. An excerpt:

I’d be shocked if psychiatrists in government and in the private sector don’t transfer colleagues with less than stellar reviews from one department to another or one affiliated practice or hospital to another. The person becomes someone else’s problem, and the confrontation and possible lawsuit over firing a doctor is avoided. I’m guessing that doctors are “passed around” much more readily than front-line supervisors.
