General Loses Three-Star Promotion for Calling Dem Congressional Staffer ‘Sweetheart’
MSN News ^ | 1/9/2018 | Alberto Luperon

The U.S. Army yanked Maj. Gen. Ryan Gonsalves‘ nomination to a third star because it determined that he called a female congressional staffer “sweetheart,” according to Stars and Stripes. This violated the Army Command Policy’s rule on “dignity and respect.” An anonymous complaint was filed to the Army Inspector General on July 20. The exchange reportedly happened at a October 2016 meeting at Fort Carson, Colorado.

According to the IG’s findings, Gonsalves picked on the staffer, who worked for Rep. Jim Langevin (D-Rhode Island 2nd district). He allegedly asked her about her age, and told her to take notes  “since she was a Democrat and did not believe in funding the military,” said the IG report.

Gonsalves denied calling her “sweetheart,” but the IG reached a conclusion against him.

Calling Sec Def Mathis please come in ... (crickets).

This is the sort of thing that Mathis was put in to stop, without which our mil will keep getting weaker and more feminized, until many return in pink body bags ...

There is a lesson to be learned here. Understand that leftists, in particular, can be very, very vindictive. Leftist women? Take note, and take heed.

I suspect that this will end his career and he will shortly announce his retirement.

I still maintain we’ve moved beyond the Harvey Weinstein/Bill Clinton sexual predators and rapists stage to the hysterical Salem witch trials stage.

This would be comical if it didn’t involve the ruining of careers because some snowflake is looking for an opportunity to be “offended” and seek revenge.

I was thinking the same thing. I (a male) have been sexually harassed 100s if not 1000s of times if this is the standard. I think Cracker Barrel has lots of money so I’ll have my lawyer contact them first. /sarc

Sounds like they had several people that backed-up the claims.

Some Congressfool sent some young girl to evaluate an Infantry unit? That’s a slap in the face insult to send girl young enough to be his daughter to sit there and not take notes.

He told her to take notes and called her sweetheart. BFD.

Has Mattis said anything dramatic about this yet?

When you talk to Congressional staffers, from now on, just offer name, rank, and serial number...

“Sounds like they had several people that backed-up the claims.”

So he called her sweetheart and told her to take notes. So what? A general isn’t supposed to operate within the sensibilities of some average young college girl interning for a congressman.

May as well hire a plethora of lawyers and head into Maryland and SUE every waitress that calls you hon.

We have to go back to whoever figured it was a GOOD idea to take Men & Women, between 18-21, lock them in a small space, let them loose now and again, take liberty in exotic ports where YOUR language isn’t spoken, put same boys & girls back in the cramped quarters then cry fowl whenever one teases another and if the ‘teasing’ persists and it gets off the ship or station EVERYONE from the CO on down get hung out to dry.

Guess the policy would/should be to not take command or serve on a mixed crew ship....

WRONG ANSWER....that will get you fired for being whatever they portrayed you as....

Reminds me of ‘We Were Soldiers’ when someone passed Top and said Good Morning, there was always a snarl and the person being asked if they were a weatherman....

Best scene was when M Gibson was describing the ‘Old Indian’ Custom of EVERYONE calling the Senior Tribesman Grandfather.

TOP, in no uncertain terms said he would kill the first SOB that called him ‘Grandpa’..

AND they knew he meant it...
