An Army brigadier general has been charged with forcible sodomy, inappropriate relationships, and possessing alcohol and pornography while serving as a senior commander in Afghanistan earlier this year.
Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair, a deputy commanding general of the 82 nd Airborne Division, faces a possible court martial over the charges handed down Wednesday.
In May, Sinclair was sent home to the United States in the middle of his combat tour in Afghanistan, where he was serving in the southern Afghanistan province of Kandahar as the deputy commander of logistics and support for the 82nd Airborne.

A news release by the Fort Bragg Public Affairs Office listed the charges presented against Sinclair as including "forcible sodomy, wrongful sexual conduct, attempted violation of an order, violations of regulations by wrongfully engaging in inappropriate relationships and misusing a government travel charge card, violating general orders by possessing alcohol and pornography while deployed, maltreatment of subordinates, filing fraudulent claims, engaging in conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman and engaging in conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, or of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces."
Few specifics about the allegations against Sinclair were released Wednesday, but a Defense Department official said "several women were the subject of Sinclair's alleged misconduct."

Yes, because there are many ratings (specialties) that require upper body strength. Most women don't have it. It would require many manly dykes to deal with the simple maintenance of a Navy ship, not to mention other areas. Then, there is the problem with menstrual cycles of a woman only ship, not to mention even more pregnancies when in port. There are already too many of them occurring on mixed sex ships. Often times, their male counterparts have to pick up the slack. Think about it.
I assume they will toss him out of the military,unlikely to actually do any time since his rank warrants a slap on the wrist.I am surprised it is an officer and not a senior NCO.
If he was in Desert storm and he’d done 2 tours in Iraq and two tours in Afghanistan,he should have kind of known better.Otherwise seems like he just overused his privileges and his rank.
Unless he outright raped the females,which this article seems to be inferring,I’d say he was just unfit to be an officer or in the Army.
Who promoted Sinclair?
Hope the General Courts Martial gives him the sani-flush
I do not know about anyone else but I breathed a sigh of relief when they reported that the so-called sodomy was with females. “Forced” is not good but sodomy? Give me a break.
Back in the day this piece of shit would have been fragged..........
“definition of sodomy within the UCMJ.”
I agree with your assessment. In addition, I would bet that the writers of the UCMJ were in violation of it as they were writing it. Well, not at the same moment but at home with their mates.
BTTT
LOL!!
Additionally, when women live in group settings, their menstrual cycles tend to synchronize. Some vessels would be unapproachable for a week or so (USS PMS).
*facepalm*
How did that leftist pervert, rapist and obviously insane person become a brigadier general? That is nauseating.
What have the marxists done to our military, and exactly how bad is it?
So in other words, one of the ways to break the fallacy that women and men are equal would be to introduce a few crews with female only complements? Personally, I’d like to see the military revert/improve back to Reagan standards.
It’s an honest question. The gals are just as capable as the guys...right?
No, most "gals" are not as capable as "guys". I saw it personally in my later days in the Navy when women were assigned only to support ships. The women had problems with upper body strength (I saw it); their menstrual cycles put them in sick bay many times; and they would purposefully get pregnant to avoid a deployment. This is not to mention the many times they would cry "sexual harrassment" for any damn reason.
This was in the '80's - I've heard it's gotten worse no matter how much sensitivity training has tried to "correct" male thinking. And now the PC Pentagon wants to put women on submarines. Pfft.
Only on TV or movies where a 98 lb girl can crush 4 250lb no neck assassins single handed.
...you of course, understood, I was being sarcastic.
