Hard to imagine anything lamer. I’m praying the Lt Grayson verdict gives Gen Helland the perfect face-saving excuse to drop or at least reduce charges.
I’ve been reading some of the Air Force firings threads.
Apparently, one of the reasons for the firings has to do with these folks going to Congress behind the back of Gates. Think Murtha. We’ve thought that the Service Secty/Service Chief connection exists, but this is a smoking contrail.
Also on one thread:
***The official also pointed to statements of a top Air Force general that directly contradicted what Secretary Gates has said about spending on Air Force F-22s.***
I’m all for honest generals speaking out, but one wonders if this was about “honesty” or treasured contracts?
Murtha = Money
No sale on “reduced charges” - - in fact, Lt. Grayson told the JAGscum the same thing at the very beginning. He wanted to clear his name completely and did so.
