This general officer should never have been promoted to this rank. The shoplifting was probably a store error and there are plenty of them. She is just an incompetent goof like so many others promoted for reasons other than competence.
One of the more interestings stories on Janis...is that as a Lt...her commander wrote up the non-recommendation on her staying around. While that went into her folder...at her very next assignment...she "suddenly" changed around and was a top performer (or so was written). This sudden type of change rarely if ever occurs...and when it does...there is usually some type of relationship involved. My guess...like so many male and female officers at Col or above...who are just not qualified...is that the system lets them slip through the cracks and continue on their way. There are 4-star generals in the same category today...who ought to be working as a manager for a local Wal-Mart.
