WASHINGTON -- The Army, in a rare disciplinary act against a four-star officer, said Tuesday it relieved Gen. Kevin P. Byrnes of his command after a Pentagon investigation into unspecified "personal conduct."

Byrnes, a native of New York City, was relieved as commander of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command on Monday by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker, according to a brief statement issued by Army headquarters at the Pentagon.

Very sad to hear, I'm sure he fought it and fought it hard, but overcoming the influence of corruption and ideology of a NYC background can at times be impossible.

Zipper discipline infraction?

LOL....That's what I've been told...

[USAFJeeper]

I personally know of a few of those infractions :) Especially the officers at traiing bases, apparently they just cannot help themselves.

When I saw this on the news earlier I told my wife that I bet that was what happened.

That's what I've been told by several Army Officers today.

I live on the other side of the world. If Shield had not of posted this article I probably would not have seen it.

Lighten Up Francis.

A simple search on the word general shows at least one earlier post of this.

"The Army, in a rare disciplinary act against a four-star officer, said Tuesday it relieved Gen. Kevin P. Byrnes of his command after a Pentagon investigation into unspecified "personal conduct.""

Reading about women destroying our highest ranking male military leaders has become so commonplace today that people are reduced to making jokes about "zipper discipline". I personally find these female military types to be every bit as dangerous and damaging to our nation as al Quaida, if not more so.

I gotta agree with the earlier poster. Lighten up. I really hate poster police. Its not like we sit and try to add extra posts. We all understand searches etc. And you know what sometimes we dont get a hit for our searches.

I once posted something that someone else had posted and good lord you would think I had just committed pedophilia or suggested we murder people whose name started with U.

Increase your post count some other way than by post policing and being a school marm on the hunt for spelling errors.

Mighta spelled it "gen'ral" by mistake ;-)

[upchuck]

As a former Hillbilly, I can relate :)

[bin2baghdad]

I searched on "general relieved" "TRADOC" and "Byrnes" several times and this is the first hit.

Posting police need to take a strong laxative.

I agree...the police dogs many times suck here at FR-grumpy old men/women... LOL ;o)
