This “article” is another example of the stenographic journalism practiced by the Military Times publications.
Do a Google search on CSM King and you’ll find the reasons she was removed from her post. There are allegations of an improper relationship with a subordinate; she reportedly has a drinking problem and if that’s not enough, two of her college degrees (a master’s and a “Doctor of Divinity”) came from diploma mills.
As a retired military officer, I can tell you the bogus degrees alone are sufficient reason for her dismissal. She lied to her superiors, pure and simple. The allegations about her drinking and improper relationship speak volumes about her character—clearly, she doesn’t have the integrity you’d expect in a corporal, let alone a CSM.
If she’s being allowed to retire without non-judicial punishment or a courts-martial, CSM King is damned lucky. A lesser individual (I.e., someone from a non+protected class) would be facing serious punishment and possibly, the end of their career.
Of course, the MSM article makes no mention of CSM King’s “problems.” What a surprise. King’s defenders are casting her as a “victim” when she engineered her own fall from grace.
What loser with a major defective integrity. She shouldn’t be a drill sgt...she should be cleaning latrunes...at best. Expect more of this with the new affirmative action, equal opportunity, PC military.
