| Army relieves 172nd Infantry Brigade Commander |
| 2011-01-05 |
| GRAFENWÖHR, Germany -- The Army has relieved the commander of the 172nd Infantry Brigade, shortly before the unit intensifies its training for an Afghanistan deployment this summer. Acting V Corps commander Brig. Gen. Allen W. Batschelet said Tuesday that Col. Frank Zachar was relieved of command on Monday, "... due to loss of confidence in his ability to command." This one has a very bad smell. Got to be more to this story. Batschelet was heavily decorated and headed for a star. The CSM is to be reassigned as well. |

| #5 "This officer has improved markedly in this assignment, and eventually may be able to perform his appointed duties." "Officer has proved capable of both tying his own shoes and waving bye-bye, usually under appropriate circumstances." "This officer may best be characterized as 'sluggish', or perhaps 'slug-like', much like a garden variety nematode. Fortunately he has not demonstrated hermaphroditic tendencies." "An impressive intellectual capability best described as 'venereal'." Non gradus anus rodentum. "Rater has included what appears to be streaks of feces on OER, which are shorter and lighter of color than those of senior rater." "Officer has single-handedly quintupled the female enlisted fertility rate of this unit." "Highest recommendation for branch transfer to Star Fleet." |

| #4 How many of these will occur due to Officers reluctant to welcome open homosexuals into the forces, especially combat forces? |

| #3 EXTRACTS FROM OFFICERS' ANNUAL CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS "Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap" "He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age." "This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better." "This officer is depriving a village somewhere of its idiot." "Only occasionally wets himself under pressure." "This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be." "When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there." "He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction." "He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle." "Technically sound, but socially impossible." "This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere." "This young man has delusions of adequacy." "When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably. " "This Medical Officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar." "Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig." "She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them." "His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity." "I would not breed from this Officer." "This officer has the astonishing ability to provoke something close to a mutiny every time he opens his mouth". |

| #2 CO and CSM? That's got to be a nasty. Batschelet said there was no specific incident that led the Army to relieve Zachar. “There weren’t any illegal, immoral or unethical activities,” he said. “His (Zachar’s) leadership style wasn’t really effective and over time the command here lost confidence in his ability to command.” The 172nd is also without a deputy commander since the last officer to hold that position, Lt. Col. Jamie Gough, recently moved to another assignment. Col. Zachar was in command for 7 months (May 26, 2010). |
