Wonder if Allen has a girlfriend hidden somewhere.
Birds of a feather
“On November 13, 2012, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that Allen’s nomination for SACEUR would be “delayed.” News agencies reported that Allen’s communications with Jill Kelley, a Tampa woman who was friends with Allen’s predecessor as top commander in Afghanistan, David Petraeus, were under investigation. Petraeus had resigned as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency four days earlier.[39]
In November 2012, Allen became embroiled in an inappropriate communication investigation concerning his correspondences with Jill Kelley.[40] According to the FBI, Allen had received anonymous e-mail messages, sent by someone identified as “kelleypatrol” (later found to be Paula Broadwell) advising him to stay away from Jill Kelley. Allen forwarded it to Kelley and they discussed a concern that someone was cyberstalking them.[4]
In response to the investigation, Secretary Panetta moved to speed the nomination of General Joseph Dunford to command of forces in Afghanistan.[41]
“He certainly IS a traitor. I wonder what she’s got on him.”
SecDef job offer. Or we tell your wife about your Afghani mistress.
Allen has a poor reputation among his Marine peers. Most say that he was over his head commanding forces in Afghanistan and that he often took credit for accomplishments that he played no role. To sum it up, many Marine Corps officers say that Allen is a typical “parade grounds General”. (huge insult in the Corp.)
more likely a young boyfriend, ala Barnie Frank.
Sounds like he’s slipped a cog or shrillery has something juicy on him.
Kaine’s Marine son is deploying......to that Hell Hole where his life will be in danger 24 hours a day....Europe.
Get his military service punched for future run for office.
Cynical??? Hell YES!!!
So, has the General “come out” yet?
What did you learn about handling classified, General?
Did Hillary follow proper procedures for handling classified?
General?
Hmmmm?
I wouldn’t trust any current or retired military officer who was involved in this country’s foreign military campaigns since 1988. There’s simply too much evidence that our military has been compromised and has effectively been operating as a mercenary force for foreign interests.
If they did a side-by-side of his emails with deaths in combat in Helmand Province I’ll bet you can find more than one happening at the same time.
Bought and paid for.
Money, a star, an appointment, a favor for a relative, or maybe just keeping her mouth shut about a certain indiscretion.
This RETIRED ARMY Dog AGREES with you.
Add to that income his military pension and benefits.
Add to that the ability to cash in on the term "U.S. Marine Corps General" to make tens of thousands as a speaker on the creamed chicken circuit and other income-producing gigs.
He and his will be set for life.
All this is what prompted his decision to support Hillary for president.
All this is what DC elitism and crony connections-ism is all about.
Stopping this ongoing incestuous networking among government leftist insiders, retired ambitious military sell-outs, greedy favor-seekers and corrupt favor-givers is what Donald Trump is all about.

I few “Tidbits” from Gen Allen’s Wiki:
1/Following commissioning in 1976, Allen attended The Basic School and was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines, where he served as a platoon and rifle company commander. His next tour took him to Marine Barracks, 8th and I, Washington, D.C. where he served at the Marine Corps Institute and as a ceremonial officer.
Allen then attended the Postgraduate Intelligence Program of the Defense Intelligence College, where he was the Distinguished Graduate. He subsequently served as the Marine Corps Fellow to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). He was the first Marine Corps officer inducted as a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
2/In November 2012, he came under investigation for possible “inappropriate-communication” concerning his correspondences with Jill Kelley, the Honorary Ambassador to U.S. Central Command Coalition Forces.[17] In response to the investigation, Secretary Panetta suspended his confirmation hearing for commander of EUCOM and requested the U.S. Congress to speed the confirmation of General Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. to command of forces in Afghanistan.[18] On January 22, 2013, General Allen was cleared in a misconduct inquiry.[19]
Someone,shouldvha c e FRAGGED this turd long ago.
Exactly. The purges of the star ranks and mid ranks by Obama are having an effect.
Allen’s retired. He needs to stay that way.
excerpt:
From: John Allen Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 8:56:12 -0500 To: Jill Kelley Subject: RE: Princess Kelley’s Super Sweet 16
[I love it! Mind if I continue???]
Army JROTC Cadet Master Sergeant John Allen was called into the gymnasium locker room by his squad commander. He stood at attention and waited.
“Cadet Master Sergeant Allen, are you aware of what day it is?” said the squad commander.
“YES, SIR! JILL KELLEY’S SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY, SIR!!!” replied Master Sergeant Allen.
This is a general officer??
Condolences to the general and his loved ones.. He has obviously suffered some mental trauma.
