Bad times for generals: Pentagon demotes 4-star General Ward

Given, the number of four star generals or equivalent rank in the entire United States military and associated public health and homeland security services are fewer than 40. 2 being in hot water at one time is a lot.[This doesn't include retired Gen. Petraeus]

I remember serving under this guy. I remember sitting and talking budget for funding for our missions and getting BS answers about why we couldn’t support more missions. Now i see why lol

Should have been demoted to private…

Cleaner and leaner government will translate to better morale.

Panetta is a very good Sec of Defense if he is willing and able to look any corruption in the eye and tackle it. The shame will be a deterrent. The fine could be higher, at least as high as the inappropriate expense, rather than less than it, but there must be rules that Panetta has to follow. I enjoyed the Panetta Forum he and his wife organized, which is available sometimes on my local PBS.

Maybe he could stay longer as Sec of Defense, especially with
so many generals getting into trouble. Seems that Panetta himself is honorable and clean — that’s hard to find, it seems.

Totally racist! Panetta can find this type of behavior throughout the armed forces. Why is he picking on an African American?

Corrupt all the way to the top, clearly.
