Two Army generals have been relieved of their duties
washington post ^ | Sept 23 2016 | Thomas Gibbons-Neff

An Army National Guard brigadier general assigned to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a major general in charge of a Kansas-based infantry division have been recently relieved of their duties, according to a report in USA Today and an Army statement released Friday.

Brig. Gen. Michael Bobeck is accused of having an extramarital affair — a violation of military law if proven true — and is being investigated, according to the USA Today report. Bobeck has been reassigned from his post on the Joint Chiefs pending the results of the investigation.

The report also indicated that Bobeck had a cozy relation with an Alexandria, Va-based consulting firm that had done some work with the Pentagon. It is unclear if that had anything to do with the removal from his post, but at one point, according to the report, Bobeck lived with one of the firm’s executives.

Bobeck, a decorated officer, enlisted in the Army infantry in 1979 before going on to serve in a variety of billets in both the active duty Army and the National Guard [ ] Throughout his career, he spent time in the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division, and as a company commander in the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.

Maj. Gen. Wayne Grigsby, commander of the 1st Infantry Division in Fort Riley Kansas since August 2015, has “been suspended from duties as commander,” according to the Army statement. The removal of a division commander is rare and military officials would not say why he was relieved.

“He is currently the subject of an official investigation and we cannot comment further at this time,” the statement said. Grigsby’s biography on the Fort Riley website indicates that he is still in charge of the unit.

As commander in chief this military law should be applied to them. Would love to have had Clinton relieved of duty for his affairs.

We could remove Obama for his affair with Reggie boy.

Perhaps their real crime was having feelings of patriotism.

Trannies in the armed forces. All troops taught to “respect” that. Gays in the armed forces. All troops taught to “respect” and embrace that.

How the hell can they justify cashiering a general officer for a heterosexual extra-marital affair. Why is something as quaint and old-fashioned as an affair between a man and a woman worst that queer / trainee? Who the hell are THEY to judge this man? Hmmm??

All this “social engineering” crap has created unbelievable amounts of double-standards and special privileged classes that are off limits. Society is crumbling before our eyes.

Perhaps a much more interesting thing is to note that many high officers have been replaced due to similar reasons. it seems all of them have had their emails read by...hmmmm. Enemies of the state, since they are for the most part patriotic people who would defend the Constitution.

Then they are replaced by the more, left wing oriented officers.

Something stinks. Thank God Obama is gone in January.

I forget the details, which some other long time Freeper can probably supply, but while POTUS Bubba explicitly tried to claim some of the privileges due to just those serving under him.

If his “girfriend” had been a skinny black homo or tranny he would have been safe.

Imagine if they had held Eisenhower to the same standard.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Bath House scalps these generals on morals violations while he and his crew lie, bribe, cheat, and violate any and every law if it stands in the way of advancing their agenda.

He is the hypocrite par-excellance.

it’s not a purge. the careerists that can do something else are getting out, rather than watch what obama and asshats like ray mabus are doing to the military.

this is what’s left.

We are only few deaths away to returning back to normalcy. No one is invincible. Especially if they are evil. Accidents happen. Bad health happens. God happens.
