A two-star Army general faulted for failing to properly investigate sexual assault and other accusations against a colonel on his staff will be retired at one-star rank, the Army announced Wednesday. The decision by Army Secretary John M. McHugh comes more than a year after Maj. Gen. Michael T. Harrison was suspended from his duties as commander of U.S. Army forces in Japan. His case has been cited as evidence of why sex-crime victims say they don't trust the military to protect them, despite efforts by senior Pentagon officials, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, to make commanders accountable. |
For a one-star with 30 years in around $8K a month, for a two-star around $9K. At least that's what I got from their little computer. At least Sinclair is down to $5800, no doubt food stamps are in his future.
Exactly. I hate the fact that some of these General/Flag level officers are put on a pedestal even when they have clearly done wrong. I would think that the fall would be greater since they've climbed so high, but there seems to be a nice safety net for them.
