And yet the MSM will still claim the reason Clinton remains unpopular with the military is because he didn't serve in Viet Nam. Viet Nam's not even the half of it!
Generals are held to high standards, and can get fired for many reasons, and this thread has reminded me of another. My husband had an assignment as an IG, and had to fly to Puerto Rico to investigate what he laughingly calls "the chicken wing affair". (The general's wife was using the officer's club as her private caterer, and the General got into serious trouble.)
Under Carter there was General Bernard Rogers. While he was FORSCOM CG a second Army plane was dispatched from Atlanta to follow the General's plane when an aide forgot to load the Generals Golf shoes on the first plane.
And, under Clinton, an Air Force 4 Star flew on a C-141 from Italy to Denver with his favorite female airman aide. Two retired LTCs blew the whistle on that one when they couldn't get a Space-A ride out of Italy.
Each of those survived, I believe. The AF General was to take over NORAD and may have resigned later?
