Col. Peter M. Bilodeau, the commander of the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, was relieved of command on Tuesday after less than six months on the job because of loss of faith and confidence in his leadership, U.S. Air Forces in Europe announced. Bilodeau, who was removed by Lt. Gen. Darryl Roberson, the commander of the 3rd Air Force, was not relieved for any misconduct or wrongdoing, according to USAFE. "This was not an easy decision to make, but I believe it is in the best interest of the men and women of the 52nd Fighter Wing," Roberson said. "My primary focus remains on motivational mission accomplishment, compassionate care of airmen and their families, and the drive to constantly improve and innovate." Roberson announced the appointment of Col. Lars R. Hubert, 52nd Fighter Wing vice commander, as interim wing commander until a replacement can assume full-time duties. Hubert has been vice commander since July 2013.

Around the same time an officer assigned to SHAPE Belgium had made an alcohol fueled comment...
“We have a draft dodging, gay loving, pot smoking, skirt chasing commander in chief.”
This was at an official event in a joint/combined environment. His statement was true but it wasn’t the best venue.
Not many people have recovered from the Peanut Farmer, he won’t let us, as he keeps traveling to the Middle East or writing letters, then there are those speeches...
Geez, I would love it if they would just put him in a nursing home!
