NY Dem Congressional Candidate Running As A Sterling Former Army Officer Was Actually Relieved Of Duty
Daily caller via InstapunditNew York Democratic congressional candidate Jackie Gordon’s military records show she was subject to two investigations during her time in the U.S. Army, resulting in two separate recommendations that she be relieved of command, one of which was acted upon in Afghanistan, according to two Department of Defense sources with direct knowledge of the investigations. The Daily Caller obtained an unredacted Department of Defense document from a source with direct knowledge of an investigation into Gordon’s behavior as a lieutenant colonel from December 2011, as well as a redacted Department of Defense document (described as "interim findings") that shows Gordon was again under investigation in Afghanistan and was subsequently relieved of duty. One of the reports outlines how Gordon purportedly left her battalion without permission to campaign for local office in 2012, saying she posed a "significant threat to the Battalion’s ability to perform an incredibly stressful and sensitive wartime mission." Didn't they use to shoot people for staff like this? Two sources with direct knowledge of the investigation confirmed the authenticity of the documents outlining the investigations into Gordon to the Daily Caller. The first investigation started after Gordon made a complaint about "four horsemen" when she was serving as a battalion commander. She alleged the four white men under her command were causing trouble, however, the investigation says there was no evidence of any wrongdoing by the four and that others on the base had never heard of the "four horsemen." Are you surprised? I am. The report then concluded Gordon should be relieved of duty. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2020-10-20 |
