Gen Ham was leaving anyway. Hubby read it in the Army Times last week. He was NOT relieved for this incident.
There’s enough reality to be upset about without adding rumor and introspection to the fire.
well miss marie, that is not what I read. they both could be true, but you know as well as I if you are having a change of command, there is a ceremony, you get an award, there is a party. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED. HE WAS RELIEVED IN ADVANCE OF HIS DATE DUE TO CHALLENGING OUR SICKO cinc.
General Ham has only been the Commander of Africom since March/2011. For Panetta to say in the DOD report that Ham is being replaced, in part, because he’s 64 years old sounds pretty weak. Why put someone in that position who is 62-63 if 64 is too old?
