“The educational background of a warrior.”

That resume is circular file material—no matter what the job.

To put it bluntly I don’t think she is bright enough to steal a lot of stuff.

“They wouldn’t do this unless she messed up really badly, obiously.”

Or didn’t play along with the trans rules.

The educational background of a warrior.

Yet she went on to become an associate professor at West Point.

That is often the case.

Was she still restocking Bagram Air Base?

Sen. Tuberville exposed the biggest problem with officer promotions: rubber stamping en masse. Virtually no due diligence beforehand yields big problems downstream. Shirking responsibility has become normal for Congress as they prefer someone else make hard decisions thus avoiding as much blame as possible when things go wrong.

For a black female to be fired, I can’t imagine what she had to do. Lose a few nukes perhaps?

I presume we also have a lot of positions in say CENTCOM related to deterring terrorist aggression against ourselves and allies. So, was anyone fired as a result of the clear failure of deterrence against terrorist aggression in the case of Hamas?

It's not the job of the U.S. to police the world.

We should have pulled out of NATO, and the Mideast, long ago.

It was probably her late 20th century African Am literature degree that got her sought out to share her knowledge at West Point.

All that logistics training “for war readiness”, and never any experience for after “kings pawn to kings pawn4”.
Never any field experience where the bullets whizzing.
Even Colin Powell did better, there.

Since ‘she was known’, possible swept under rug of secrecy, to ‘location X’, where she might do good ...sorta Patton’s removal to command ghost army?

I don’t think she could run a theft ring but I could imagine a massive theft ring operating right under her nose.

She reminds me of Idi Amin.

Is she one of the all female black power cadets in the graduation photo circulating a couple of years ago?

One should look at the part of the story that stated:

“In the past few years, colonels have been removed from command for reasons varying from toxic leadership to inappropriate relationships and bad judgment in general.”

Huge job, huge organization. Lots of German labor involved. Spinelli Barracks in Mannheim Germany where the 1st Combat Equipment Co maintained acres of vehicles, weapons, and equipment. This was one of many sites where units could draw equipment rather than wait for it to be shipped. Annual REFORGER exercise utilized pre-positioned equipment.

I googled “professional English” and it doesn’t sound good.

https://blog.lillypad.ai/learn-professional-english/

For example, a business person might say “We’re going to need more information on that, OK?”.
Someone speaking regular English would simply say “We need more information.”

Finally, intonation patterns are also different. In professional English, the pitch goes up at the end of statements to show interest and the pitch goes down at the end of statements to show certainty.

For example, a business person might say “That sounds like an excellent idea.”
Regular English speakers would be more likely to say something like “That’s a good idea.”

Thanks for the details—I would think massive theft would be a major risk and test for a commanding officer.

There is no way she would be up to facing that challenge.
