A U.S. military aircraft from a base in Germany will transport Secretary of State John Kerry to Boston from Geneva for medical treatment for a broken leg, his spokesman said on Monday.

"Secretary Kerry will be transported (from Geneva) to Boston aboard a U.S. military C-17 transport aircraft. The aircraft, based in Ramstein, Germany, will be staffed by additional military medical personnel in keeping with standard practice," State Department spokesperson John Kirby said in a statement.

Isn’t it risky to fly with a broken leg, with the risk of a pulmonary embolism?

Gosh, let's hope not.

I wonder if the Iranian negotiator finally decided to kick Kerry’s stupid ass. It wouldn’t surprise me after hearing so many stories about the Iranian guy screaming and treating Kerry like the punk he is.

They should have stuck him on the ebola express, now that we wiped ebola off the planet.

State Dept has exclusive use of the ebola express, might as well use it for their king.

The Swiss X-ray machines were blinded by the rice blast stuck in his ass from his glorious Purple Heart tour in Viet Nam, you know.

Too bad he isn’t strapped to a pallet and sent home on a C-130, the experience would do him good. He served in Viet Nam you know.

LOL your idea sounds like a good plan to me. I remember the ships medical officer sent me from Naples, Italy to Rota, Spain to the hospital to see an ENT specialist. I flew on a cargo plane that I swear was flapping it's wings LOL. Big old bird. Lots of prop engines. And very loud too. Nothing like a long ride in a cargo net and a good box lunch. Something tells me he will have "ALL" creature comforts on his flight.

How many milliseconds after he broke his leg did he demand a purple heart?

Cut his leg off and send it to the Iranian “negotiators” with a note, “Arm to follow.”
