CriticismIn 2007, an ABC News piece and a story by The Nation journalist Joshua Kors questioned Pollack's involvement in a brewing scandal involving personality disorder discharges from the military.[5] Pollock released a memo claiming that her office had conducted a careful review of a series of personality disorder discharges from Fort Carson, Colorado, a review Kors alleged to be a sham.[5] According to Kors' piece, the Office of the Army Surgeon General had not interacted directly with discharged soldiers, instead relying on the Army officials who made the original diagnoses to confirm their confidence in their diagnoses.[5] Kors article stated that the Surgeon General's office then closed the review, without seeking information from more objective sources, leading to criticism of Pollack by the Iraq War Veterans Organization[6][7] and Veterans for America[6] Citations1. ^{{cite web |url=http://armynursecorps.amedd.army.mil/leadership/pollock.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2007-04-18 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070402062203/http://armynursecorps.amedd.army.mil/leadership/pollock.html |archivedate=2007-04-02 |df= }} 2. ^Army Surgeon General Submits Retirement Request 3. ^[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031200544_2.html Surgeon General Of Army Steps Down - washingtonpost.com] 4. ^{{cite web |last=Pollock |first=Gale |title=List of 2011 Fellows |url=http://advancedleadership.harvard.edu/2011-fellows/ |publisher=Harvard University |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130523032242/http://advancedleadership.harvard.edu/2011-fellows/ |archivedate=2013-05-23 |df= }} 5. ^1 2 [https://www.pbs.org/now/news/veterans-benefits.html Joshua Kors on how the U.S. Army "cheats" some veterans out of their benefits] 6. ^1 Scoop: Pentagon Cheats Iraqi Veterans Out Of Medical Care 7. ^Political Affairs Magazine - Pentagon Cheats Iraq War Vets Out of Medical Care and Benefits {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927004000/http://www.politicalaffairs.net/article/view/5069/1/46 |date=2007-09-27 }} See also{{portal|United States Army}}References
