In my 24 years of Army time, I found JAG officers to be quite like many politicians. Living in a bubble and little idea of what small unit cohesion entails. Porking suboridnates (or being porked} leads to morale problems because of assumed favortism.

“Seems awfully young for a job like this.”

Diversity must be enforced, even if it means cutting a few corners!

Yeah, I watched the Captain Marvel trailer, so I know that females make the baddest fighter pilots around, so obviously they fired her because they are sexist.

I did not, but was lied to regularly. And when I was on active duty, everyone was bonking everyone, swinging, hitting on their step children, gay females hitting on me, harrassing, etc. Active military is not for the prudish. I was in charge of compiling the trainee abuse complaints. If you think military personnel are saints, you are dead wrong. It’s all about the power.

"You are talking out of your ass. Plenty of male officers have been pulled from posts because of affairs. You are correct sir. I saw a few, when I was in. 🇵🇭" Any of them can get tagged for this. It is only when you want to implode someone that it is actually done.

I don't doubt that there is a lot of stuff going on in the military. This does not mean that the military does not have a valid interest in keeping the level of sexual escapades down.

“Improper shenanigans is looking more and more likely.”

I’m not one to simply trust someone’s ‘pedigree’ as a basis for current or future talent. The late Sen McCain would be the very embodiment of my reasoning.

About the only good thing to come out of this is the fact that if she did something wrong and is actually being held accountable then hopefully (hopefully!) they can start weeding out the dangerous women in various leadership positions in the military.

It’s a start.

As you now from the Patreaus incident, the generals are part of the problem.

Still, regardless of how many generals are part of the problem, there needs to be a lid put on it.
