This will be my last post on this however.
..not subject to rebuttal and cross-exanination by the accused - and take down a man they don't like. The pernicious idea that "women don't lie about these things" is laughable.
Hallums had his rubuttal opportunity, all the way up the chain...it was the proper authorities who determined through an extensive investigation and they determined he was no longer fit. He also admitted to some of the things for which he was charged. SO I did not lie. Keep in mind also, there were male soldiers who also had complaints against him, for his abusive leadership tactics...not just sexual harassment.
I wonder what your assessment of General George Patton would have been?
FWIW my assessment of GP is that he was the best General the Army had and we need more Generals like him.
John Wayne is my hero, as well as Ronald Reagan...the Colonel they sent to the department to replace Hallums used to be the military aide to Ronald Reagan during his presidency. This man took over the department, made it well again...and after five years of being the best boss I ever had in my Military and Civilian careers, retired to become the Dean of VMI.
Do I think that some women lie about being sexually or otherwise harassed??? YES
Do I think ALL women lie about it?? NO.
Do I think if you are accused you have the right to rebut and face your accusers?? YES ABSOLUTELY.
