#1 One can be certain that the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania is conducting a thorough AR 15-6 investigation of the alleged plagiarism, with published findings, recommendations for admonishments and punitive withdrawal of degree award.

[sarcasm of course, nothing of the sort will be done]

#2 Walsh, a Democrat, must be on the wrong side of donk politics, maybe too military or too right--something like that. I dare say, that nearly all theses and dissertations, if nitpicked carefully, could be found to contain improper citation of sources. His committee probably did a Pelosi (you have to pass it to read it). They just didn't read it carefully enough. The thesis is the first one the student does. The committee has seen many, many of these. His chairman should have caught most of this. His committee the rest. Some of this has to do with dealing with deadlines at the end of a term and many such theses going through at the same time as well as grading deadlines.

#3 Just another set of memorandum, a couple of paragraphs to 'clarify' the standards, etc, etc, because as B alludes too, they just don't want to hold someone in rank accountable for their act.

You know you don't need as many regulations and as much paper work, if you just take a couple these types and use them as an example regardless of rank. In fact more so with the higher rank as holding the office is suppose to come with special trust and confidence.

#4 The maddening part isn't his plagiarisms, which he does not deny, but rather his use of PTSD as a cause. It' generally the cover-up that carries the worst odor, this being no exception.

I would LOVE for someone to do a simple audit of his awards and decorations, just on the off chance he might have some other..... potentially PTSD related irregularities.

#5 Conduct unbecoming... No matter how you slice it.
