Army Secretary Christine Wormuth -- in a dramatic and rare move -- on Tuesday fired one of the service's top generals following an Army inspector general investigation that concluded he improperly intervened in the process for selecting senior commanders.

Gen. Charles Hamilton, who had been the head of Army Materiel Command, was removed after what officials described as a flagrant abuse of authority aimed at securing a leadership role for a subordinate officer who was found unfit for command and had an inappropriate relationship with the general, according to the IG report.

The move marks the first time in nearly 20 years an Army four-star general has been outright fired and comes after a Military.com investigation in March detailed how he attempted to intervene on behalf of the subordinate officer. The publication's report earlier this year immediately triggered both his suspension from the command leadership position and the inspector general probe.

Good, one less for Trump to fire.

I need to see photos of the subordinate... sans clothes... to determine her level of fitness.

Failure to keep his zipper in the full up and locked position. FFS, you'd think a four star would have seen enough careers destroyed by that foolishness to have steered clear.....Oh well, too many four stars as it is.

LOL, I agree, but it brings to mind another 4 star and his consort. Eisenhower and Kate Summersby.

and we're sure that the subordinate IS a woman?

Good point. The General is Republican, so the subordinate could be male and very young.

General Hamilton, DEI hire.

One of the bozos that rose in rank after Øbama fired some 200 Generals and Admirals.

We can no longer make that assumption in today's world.

Who was a civilian. Kay Summersby was a member of the Mechanised Transport Corps. And even though they wore uniforms, they were all civilians.

Eisenhower was Supreme Commander of Allied Expeditionary Force in command of the Allied forces in north west Europe during WWII. He was a general, not civilian, and she acted as his chauffeur and personal secretary.

They don't "fire" these guys he will be reassigned until he decides to retire with full pension. Then he will get a job with some company making 7 figures a year because he's an expert at the bureaucracy and buddies with everyone at the Pentagon.

Yes, I am aware of who he was, and who she was.

And she was a civilian. Therefore she was obviously not a subordinate of his.

She was his driver and secretary. That isn't a subordinate? SMH. Run along, I'm not playing with stupid people today.

But she was a civilian, and not even an American citizen or part of the US military or DoW.

She was not the only one assigned to him, nor the only one assigned to work for hundreds of other high ranking individuals.

I agree, you need to learn the difference between individuals like that, and a Subordinate that is actually part of the military, and directly under another individual in the chain of command. The difference between the two is vast, and I am finding it sill you are purposefully ignoring the differences.

Civilians working for military commanders are their employees and the commander is subject to the same employment laws as any other "supervisor" would be. BTW, civilians working on military bases abroad are subject to the UCMJ as well. As commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, there were probably thousands of people, military and civilian that were under Eisenhower's command. This is all easily researchable.

You seem to forget she was not a US citizen! She was the citizen of a host nation that we were in.

And the last part of word salad is particularly funny. As you are stating the current UCMJ. You are aware that was enacted in 1951, right? Before that it was the 1920 Articles of War. And in any case, in neither case would that have applied to her. Those are for US Citizens working in a war zone, not what we now call "Third Country Nationals" working in their own country.

Boy, you really are reaching here. And go ahead, make all the claims of "fake news" you want, because it is not fake. You are trying to claim a ton of things that simply do not apply at all, and the situations are not at all even close.

 

[Concerned American]

So you think that a foreign citizen working for the US government or an American company isn't subject to the same laws as any American in the same position? Is that what you are saying? If so, you're wrong.
