So, to a retired three-star general, exactly what does a letter of censure mater?
Basically just means no fourth start, and no posting of any consequence in his future.
Can’t recalled to be the USMA Commandant of Cadets I would think but beyond that guess I don’t know.
The story I read said the matter was also referred to another group or panel to determine whether the general should be stripped of a star. I would like to know exactly what this general (who was head of all Army special forces, as I understand it) did wrong. Or stated another way, what should the general have done differently? That seems to be missing from the story, and it makes me think the general is being made a scapegoat. If so, that’s one hell of a reward for many long years of service on behalf of us Americans.
