Well, the General certainly has stepped to the forefront here.

I think going against the orders of his CIC will not go well for him.

Pingy

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Well, bye.

[DesertRhino]

Dickhead... insubordination is rampant in the senior ranks.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Every fag officer, oops, Flag officer, promoted by the Kenyanesian Usurper needs to be retired.

They all saluted the transgenderizing of our military.

[shelterguy]

I think it is time for him to spend more time with the family.

[dgbrown]

Probably retiring next month.

The last time I checked, ignoring the orders of the CinC without cause, is insubordination. Charges and demotion seem in order. How about manning a guard post as an exchange officer at CFS Alert? (Co-ordinates are: 82°30′05″N 62°20′20″W)

[tired&retired]

What would you expect from a man who’s name sound like a French women’s toilet?

Or Adak

I was on tap to go to Adak

Dodged a bullet there

I read that Trump pardoned him, not sure Trump ordered anything regarding SF tab or Silver Cross.

But, then again, I didn’t read past your excerpt. WAPO, ya know.

[gunnut]

Regardless of what he is accused of doing, his distinguished service cross should not have been taken away because it was awarded for valor. Any issue after that does not take away from the act for which he earne$ th3 award.

[Rebelbase]

Perfect time of year for a transfer to Alert.

That's funny, I don't care who you are. 😂😂😂

Likely became a General Officer during the reign of Obama and owes his alligence to the deep state. Time for Trump to “lose confidence in his ability to command.” He likely saw the Navy Admiral get off without punishment after trying to circumvent Trump’s order on the Navy SEAL.

[RandallFlagg]

(a)Subject to section 817 of this title (article 17), general courts-martial have jurisdiction to try persons subject to this chapter for any offense made punishable by this chapter and may, under such limitations as the President may prescribe, adjudge any punishment not forbidden by this chapter, including the penalty of death when specifically authorized by this chapter.

[Bonemaker]

“An Army general has denied a request by an officer pardoned in an open murder case by President Trump to have his Special Forces tab reinstated..”

An Obama general.

[Coffee... Black... No Sugar]

We’ll leave the light on for ya’.

[DoughtyOne]

I think this general’s career move is not wise.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Do these people not get it? When Trump pardoned that guy that was the signal to do what he wants not what they want.
