Petraeus, Allen and now Ward

By Jeff Black, NBC News
A four-star general who formerly led the U.S. Africa Command has been demoted after accusations that he spent thousands of dollars on lavish travel, NBC News reported.
A senior defense official told NBC News that Gen. William "Kip" Ward was stripped of a star, and will be allowed to retire as a three-star lieutenant general.

At this point in our history what on God's earth do we need a Command for Africa for LOL?

What base is HQ for this cockamaymee Command?

Is it in Malawi or maybe Tanzania?

What a center for our best and brightest to hone their skills as warriors.

They kind of go berserk without a real CIC. Just who is minding the store?

Maybe not, but, uh, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Somalia and Sudan to mention a few important strategic countries, not to mention a whole shitload of people and natural resources including oil, diamonds and minerals are in Africa. BTW, it is based out of Stuttgart Germany. Our military has been used for almost a century and a half to make the world safe for American (and now global) business so it is no surprise. Just read Smedley Butler's, War is a Racket which is still pretty pertinent.

Yeah, and Bush made such a distinguished and respected CIC after his distinguished service in the Champagne Squadron! Of course everybody knows it is the CIC's responsibility to fly around in Air Force One and keep track of his general's private lives and spending habits so that makes a lot of sense COG. BTW, for most of his first term there was a Republican Secretary of Defense, but we don't hear you bashing him, the Joint Chiefs or the chain of command now do we?

As Harry Truman said, "The Buck Stops Here", meaning the Oval Office. All of those you mentioned answer to the CIC. I know you want to deflect the blame from your All Holy Messiah, Obama, but the fact is he is incompetent, regardless of being re-elected.

Yeah, it's POUTUS' fault.

Fucking idiots. at least they're getting laid, which is more than can be said for most of you spotty bottomed night crawlers.

Number one, we have allegations, only allegations. Thanks for giving Americans the freedom of doubt....bastards!

The buck does stop there at the Oval Office. The CIC sets the tone for everyone around his (and someday her) administration.

As for the ignorant; we have commands for every part of the world. As for the headquarters, look it up yourself.

So since when is a lavish lifestyle considered a crime in this country?

If so, do we need to lock up Donald Trump and those large donors to the Romney campaign?

. . . Personally, I'd rather hang the sonofabitchs, but the law is pesky about those details!

I actually have to agree with these guys here. Aaahhhh.

This whole thing is a shit storm, but it aint one that just got created out of the blue in this administration. To just use this as another excuse to dobpile on the President is just showing bias...

But clearly, the toilet needs to be flushed here.
