Exclusive Air Force Report: Hyten Accuser Has History Of Unsubstantiated Allegations
The Federalist ^ | August 5, 2019 | Mollie Hemingway

Posted on 08/05/2019 11:22:30 AM PDT by detective

he Air Force investigation found no merit to the dozens of unsubstantiated claims made by Col. Kathryn Spletstoser in the last couple of years, as well as a history of unsubstantiated claims levied against supervisors.

An Army colonel, who claimed without evidence that the four-star general who oversees the country’s nuclear arsenal repeatedly sexually assaulted her, has a history of making unsubstantiated allegations against supervisors she claims have slighted her, the findings of an Air Force investigation show.

In the weeks since the Air Force cleared Gen. John Hyten, following a comprehensive review by the Office of Special Investigations, major media have prominently published and widely broadcast lurid and salacious claims made against him by the subordinate who was removed from her position for “toxic” leadership.

Even Spletstoser’s 2019 claims of sexual assault were not the first unsubstantiated allegations she had made against Hyten. Following a review that found her leadership “toxic” and led to her removal from her position, Spletstoser made nearly three dozen claims against Hyten and other superiors.

In March 2016, Spletstoser was assigned to Strategic Command as director of the Commander’s Action Group. Strategic Command is headquartered at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Hyten and Spletstoser got along very well, and he repeatedly praised her and her work, although other colleagues found her to be abrasive and difficult.

Maj. Gen. Daniel L. Karbler, who was Hyten’s chief of staff, initiated an inquiry into the workplace climate of Strategic Command in November 2017 in response to staff concerns about Spletstoser’s leadership style. That inquiry found that people called Spletstoser “bipolar” and “toxic.”

How did this "bipolar," "toxic," dishonest woman rise to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Army.

In every pic of Spletstoser I've seen, she appears angry and entirely unapproachable.

Not exactly someone a guy would select to hit on.

Fake news. Women never lie.

Just ask Blasey-Ford.

And the Duke lacrosse accuser

And Tawanna Brawley

And...

Good question. It’s frightening how Affirmative Action-PC mantras have allowed presumably mentally ill people into positions of leadership in this country. If she’s guilty of lying about sexual assault, what does it say about those who promoted her?

A woman falsely accusing men of sexual harassment? Say it isn’t so.

8 years of Obama worked wonders on many fronts.

Yeah …

Affirmative action?

Not saying there haven't been "bipolar", "toxic", "dishonest" men promoted to high rank ...

Shouldn’t abusing the sexual harassment reporting process for personal gain be considered “conduct unbecoming an officer”?

I’m eager to hear more about Col. Spletstoser’s Article 32 hearing and how she will be compensating the Army and Air Force for the manpower and resources wasted chasing down her fairy tales.

A small number of military women learn how to manipulate the system to get what they want. The same types exist in every walks of life, but it is a recent phenomenen in the military. I’m sure that she has been doing this her entire life and certainly since she was a Second Lieutenant.
