The No. 2 officer at the military command in charge of all U.S. nuclear war-fighting forces is suspected in a case involving counterfeit gambling chips at a western Iowa casino and has been suspended from his duties, officials said.

Navy Vice Adm. Tim Giardina has not been arrested or charged, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation special agent David Dales said Saturday. The state investigation is ongoing.

Giardina, deputy commander at U.S. Strategic Command, was suspended on Sept. 3 and is under investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, a Strategic Command spokeswoman said.

The highly unusual action against a high-ranking officer at Strategic Command was made more than three weeks ago but not publicly announced at that time. The command is located at Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha, Neb.

I agree...something stinks

I regret not having the confidence that all is well.

I lost that one about the time Van Jones was a Whitehouse appointee.
We've been compromised ... big time.

Maybe it has something to do with Obama's comment to Russia's Prime Minister " I will have more flexibility after the election " in other words ? maybe he is on the plan to totally neuter our nuke forces and nuke force command and the Russians can hold us either hostage or the Russians can black male the US.
Seems to be that way after what happened in Syria.

[American Constitutionalist]

Why do that when he will have the Russians to do that with a totally neutered nuke force and nuke force command ?

The ill winds will quickly blow in another of hussein’s muzzy brothers to replace him.

Probably Israel as a trial run for the CWII.

[driftdiver]

Could it? Yes. Is it? I don’t know. There have always been senior officers fired. Just seems to be a high rate of very senior officers getting fired over the last few years.
