1st class up is a case study on Benedict Arnold....
Someone should tell Kurt Schlichter about this assignment. He is a graduate of the Army War College.

He may go though he should not. His chances for promotion in the next four years are slim. Who ever picked him for this is wrong. Officers who step out of line at this point are usually career ended and passed over.
Waste of money to send him to war college.
His military career is over. The school will ask him to step aside for another who does have a military career future.
He is under investigation, and assigned back to Pentagon. No soldier who repeatedly violate command authority is qualified to attend US Army War College. Period.
One would hope that he is there to represent the concept of “treasonous behaviour” to the officer class...
Not for long. I suspect an alternate is getting some good news shortly. His selection to attend occurred a year or two ago, and usually meant that the big army saw potential for him at O6 and beyond. Of course, there may have been some “good ‘ol boy” intervention to get him a slot if he has/had a patron saint.
He may have asked for a deferment to continue his NSC gig. However, with at least some bad paper in his file (a nuked OER, Relief for Cause or Letter of Reprimand, etc...) his career upward mobility is likely irreparably damaged. He’s likely to be passed over for O6, and if he’s smart he’d cash out now and go on book tours while he’s still in his 15 minutes. He will never command troops again, but that didn’t appear to be a career goal anyway. So, that’s some good news.
Or, he can report to Carlisle Barracks this summer where he will likely be shunned by his peers over the next year...
He will probably be a pariah there...
Must be the first US Army War College Transgender Studies student.
