Dressed down and branded for greasing a Taliban bombmaker...wasn't that what he was supposed to be doing?

Will Bo Bergdahl be on the board? /s

It would all be made right if he just announced he was a homo and he hated Christians.

The scent of Obama Regime “command influence” is in the air!

It appears the military has just about achieved a “no error” standard.

It will ensure a generation of hapless, general officers thoroughly soaked in risk avoidance.

Not good IF the purpose of armies is to win battles.

FWIW, the Roman Republic didn’t punish losing generals.

That probe closed last year without Golsteyn being charged with any crime, according to officials familiar with the case.

Sounds like "Double Jepordy" to me. NOT the American way.

Stricter rules of engagement than an American police officer. Police can blow up babies with grenades. Soldiers cannot shoot enemy soldiers. Just wow.

"That probe closed last year without Golsteyn being charged with any crime, according to officials familiar with the case."

How is it that senior officers have no idea or care not how such unjust actions negatively impact morale, even if he is to be Honorably Discharged, the impact on morale remains, the message sent; beware the leadership does not have your back.

The article is in the Stars and Stripes most all military read it studiously.

I have yet to find any media account that actually says what he did wrong.

"The Army began investigating him after he interviewed for a job with the CIA..."

I've seen this happen a number of times over the years when people I know applied for employment with the CIA and several other government organizations that use a polygraph examination as part of their job interview.

The question that probably caught the major was something like:

Q: Have you ever killed someone?

A: Yes

Q: Did this killing take place during a combat operation?

A: Yes

Q: Was this person you killed armed?

A: Yes

Q: Let me rephrase the question...

Before this interview was over, the Major must have confessed to wrong doing, and the CIA then turned the confession over to Army CID.

A word of advice to the unwary: Never apply for a job that requires a polygraph exam if you've ever committed a crime anywhere in your past.

The military, like Homeland inSecurity has decided it is the Americans who are the terrorists and the Islamists who are their “people.” Screw ‘em. Stay out of the military.

[Future Snake Eater]

There’s nowhere near enough info about this case to make a judgment either way.
