He was a cheap General that's for sure.

he solicited and accepted gifts from employees who received less pay than himself,” a summary of the 40-plus page report said. The report also found that Uribe accepted gifts, chocolates and loans from subordinates totaling about $782.

It doesn't matter. The Corps cleans up their own messes. They don't like to air their dirty laundry in public and I can tell more than one career will be over. No body likes a tattletale.

I would venture to guess as long as humans have banded together in groups to do battle, there has almost always been someone there to lead them, and someone there to get dinner for him, run messages, polish his armor/shoes.

Sometimes it was a slave. Sometimes it was a wife. Sometimes a butler or equivalent. And sometimes it was a very junior soldier.

Sometimes they loved the man. Sometimes they hated the man. But they all did it.

I will have to read the story again. It seems like someone, somewhere has an axe to grind with this General. Otherwise, I didn’t anything egregious in there.
