Army Relieves General of His Command
August 8, 2005
On Aug. 8, the Chief of Staff of the Army directed the relief of Gen. Kevin P. Byrnes from his position as Commanding General, United States Army Training and Doctrine Command. The investigation upon which this relief is based is undergoing further review to determine the appropriate final disposition of this matter.
As the investigation into this is continuing, please discourage speculation from your Soldiers. LTG Jones will be the acting commander until LTG Wallace is confirmed as the new TRADOC commander.
I think the possibility exists that Rummy used an extramarital affair as a technicality, and the real reason is that he just got on the wrong side of the SecDef . . . talked out of school, etc. I've heard from many sources that there is a war going on in the Pentagon at various levels. Conditions like that would mean you'd have to be very careful what you say and who you say it to.
I do find it strange however that he'd divorce a wife of many yrs for a casual sexual affair?
A war at the pentagon is nothing new...that's pretty much SOP...
No matter the reason, I'd bet that the President and Vice President were fully clued in before the action went down on Monday.

I don't think we know yet what kind of an affair it was, do we?

I guess that is right. Specifically, I was thinking about the sides that have been chosen up between the pro v. anti Rummy factions . . . Civilian and Military.
I still find that Byrnes wife Karen of 20+yrs with 3 kids; Jesscia, Tracee and Kevin Jr. divorcing is suspect. A man doesn't walk away from that for a casual affair. Just about the only time that this happens is for a very serious other relationship, IMHO.
I certainly ping you if I hear anything else. Quiet today.
Thanks ;o)
I've read this before...the author is a lunatic, IMHO...why didn't you post the website you got this from?
