There is a major failure in leadership. If officer’s know that the general is violating the rules..they are more inclined to violate the rules also. Good olde Kip did a lot of stupid things trying to live large on his expense account.
I just heard from a friend in Afghanistan that it is effecting the field grade officers. A CO Col was just relieved for sleeping with a female DOD employee..he was married. Plus two officers just got relieved for sleeping together..boss and subordinate.
This is a failure of leadership..not a plot. It just means we got some leaders on all levels that are abusing the system. Maybe the top leaders are being selected for the wrong PC reasons...Petreaus thought he was safe with his affair..his superiors knew about it. I bet some of his subordinates did also..and he lost his authority over them.
