Of course the *real* reason is that they failed to show fawning support for pervert “transgenderedd” holding pivotal assignments connected to national security.

In '69,as a kid going off to military service,I was warned (half jokingly) not to drop the soap.Either because I wasn't cute enough,or because perverts weren't in the military at that time,I was never bothered nor did I ever see or hear of such things happening.

I think kids of today would be wise to take such warnings a bit more seriously.

There’s got to be more to it than this. Suddenly this administration is heavy into Family Values? No, I doubt it.
They probably just refused to behave as Obama-funtionaries and unquestioning drones.

Brig. Gen. Michael Bobeck is accused of having an extramarital affair — a violation of military law if proven true...

But Commander-in-Chief Obufu cheating on his wife with Reggie Love is ok, because he is not technically military, and well, gay sex doesn't count.

I still don't know how Clinton got away with it after admitting to cheating on Hillary with Monica. Oh yeah, oral sex isn't sex, remember?

Grigsby was the one who stopped LTG (R) Jerry Boykin from speaking at Ft Riley.

According to the Topeka-Capital-Journal,

“Grigsby’s tenure until now had been relatively uncontroversial, with the exception of a dispute this summer over a prayer breakfast that resulted in a speaker being disinvited.

Retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin had been scheduled to speak at the prayer breakfast in June. But Boykin came under criticism as promoting a “screed of fundamentalist Christian supremacy, primacy, exclusivity and triumphalism.”

Boykin’s invitation was pulled the same day, after the Military Religious Freedom Foundation threatened legal action to block Boykin from speaking.”

Boykin is Executive VP of Tony Perkins Family Research Council and founding member of Delta Force. Karma is a b***h!

"I forget the details, which some other long time Freeper can probably supply, but while POTUS Bubba explicitly tried to claim some of the privileges due to just those serving under him."

Clinton tried to delay the Paula Jones case until after he was President because he claimed that as Commander-in-Chief, he was on "active duty."

Fortunately the Clinton-appointed Judge knew the only "active duty" Slick was on was cheating on Hillary, so she denied the motion.

From the Stars and Stripes article comcerning MG Grigsby, CG, 1st ID:

Grigsby made headlines in June following the invitation to a post prayer breakfast for retired Lt. Gen William Boykin, a former commander widely criticized for his conservative Christian and anti-Muslim statements. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a civil rights advocacy group that focuses on the separation of church and state in the military, along with others, called on Grigsby to rescind Boykin’s invitation, and the event was later canceled. It is not clear whether Grigsby’s suspension had anything to do with the prayer breakfast. Grigsby previously commanded Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, which oversees operations against extremist groups in East Africa.

"As commander in chief this military law should be applied to them. Would love to have had Clinton relieved of duty for his affairs."

When Paula Jones filed her Civil case against Bubba, he tried to claim that as Commander in Chief, he was basically on "active duty", and therefore exempt from being sued.

Relieving a Division Commander is serious business. He probably did something Carter Ashton and Obama didnt like. Like saying an Infantry Division is meant to win wars, not acts as a left wing social laboratory.

Perhaps their real crime was having feelings of patriotism.

The days of assuming "brass" are blood 'n guts heroes is long past. In fact, it really never was. The military is a bureaucracy and rewards yes men and kiss-ups. If you knew WWII vets, you probably heard some colorful language about their superiors.

And it's way worse since the service academies were feminized. Now, we're paying the military to send a tranny Navy Seal around to lecture on Transphobia. Where are the resignations? My default assumption is that they're all weasels.

lived rent-free in the home of a defense contractor

Is that a violation of the third amendment?

You'd think some of these high-ranked officers would have learned at least something from the Gen. Petraues affair, sheesh.

This interview may have had something to do with it.

How the hell can they justify cashiering a general officer for a heterosexual extra-marital affair.

********

The answer to your question can be found in the question itself. The word “heterosexual”

If the General’s affair had been homosexual, we wouldn’t have heard about it.

A pretty clear violation of Military-Contractor DoD policies and regulations in Bobeck’s case. MG Grimsby’s suspension, OTOH, appears to be purely politically motivated.
