easy off

Kiley got let down easy.  He started this whole mess when he was the commander at WRAMC just a few years ago.  His successor looked up to Kiley for help - and got none.  When Kiley's successor retired, Weightman entered the fray - and bore the shame of Kiley's mess when he was fired - relieved of his command - just six months into his tour.
And Kiley sat at WRAMC and tried to defend himself, passing the buck all the while.  He started this CF (military slang for big mess) and didn't try to fix it even when promoted to a more powerful position with greater capability to make the changes they needed to make.
The Army isn't poor!  These troops were outpatients - put them in a hotel!  Use a van to transport them.  If a patient can't ride in a van then that patient gets priority for a room in near-by barracks.  Its not that hard - Generals can make decisions like this, they have that power.

In the wake of all his own damage, Kiley gets to just fade away and will be honored at some dog-and-pony show retirement party.  The money spent on his retirement celebration could probably pay for lodging for half the troops that were stuck in building 18 to stay at the Ritz downtown.
