The Navy is poised to promote the admiral in charge of its elite SEAL teams and other commando units even though Pentagon investigators determined that he illegally retaliated against staff members whom he mistakenly suspected were whistleblowers.
Rear Adm. Brian Losey was investigated five times by the Defense Department's inspector general after subordinates complained that he had wrongly fired, demoted or punished them during a vengeful but fruitless hunt for the person who had anonymously reported him for a minor travel-policy infraction, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.
After conducting separate, years-long investigations that involved more than 100 witnesses and 300,000 pages of e-mails, the inspector general upheld complaints from three of the five staff members. In each of those cases, it recommended that the Navy take action against Losey for violating whistleblower-protection laws, the documents show.
The Navy, however, dismissed the findings this month and decided not to discipline Losey, a preeminent figure in the military's secretive Special Operations forces who once commanded SEAL Team 6, the clandestine unit known for killing terrorist targets such as Osama bin Laden. He now leads the Naval Special Warfare Command and has served in Afghanistan, Iraq, Panama, Bosnia, Somalia and other conflict zones.

Queeg was a hero compared to the drek that Obama has promoted and retained in the military these days.
Atlas Shrugged
Obama Generals and Admirals are more the Fred MacMurray character, Lt. Keefe.
He can have a promotion party with the Army general who spent $500,000,000 to enlist and train five guys in Syria.
“They say that in the Army
The generals are competent
But none of them are smart enough
To be a pole for your tent
Gee Ma I want to go
But they won’t let me go
Oh how I want to go
Ho-uh-o-uhoahohahome.”
Lt. Keefer
I’ve been around the block a few times. That guy has jerk written all over him.
Yup. You can tell can’t you? I’m serious, I agree.
Have you any knowledge of this affair you’d care to share with us?

Looks like the Senate was out to kill the guy...
Speaking of Gay Ray Mabus...
Wasn’t he in charge during this whole Fat Leonard bribery thing?
Wonder if his hand was in the till.
Mabus sets up a “special board” for those not being criminally charged in the scandal...
Any links between this and the Fat Leonard scandal?
