It may be a small thing but to me general officers should set an example for all to follow.
I watched the NBC News last night and they again featured the Walter Reed story. Interspersed in the story was various footage of LTG Kylie. I think you have to consider these guys (Kylie, Weightman, etc.) are doctors and from my dealing with doctors in the Army they never see themselves as soldiers.
I wish I could find the story that aired so you could see for yourselves. The new combat uniforms with velcro patches must be too much for Kylie. In some photos he had his name tag on the left breast and on others on the right breast. I guess they don't have black EM preparing their uniforms everyday like Patton did. I know, too, that in the past General officers could make their own uniforms so maybe he was making a statement.
I also thought it was unprofessional for Weightman to testify in BDU's.
