| Army War College revokes Sen. John Walsh's degree after plagiarism finding |
| 2014-10-11 |
| [FOXNEWS] The U.S. Army War College revoked Democratic Sen. John Walsh's master's degree after an investigation completed Friday concluded he plagiarized a research paper required to graduate, a college spokeswoman said. The Carlisle, Pennsylvania, college assigned an academic review board to the probe in August after The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... published a story showing Walsh borrowed heavily from other sources for the paper he wrote in 2007. Walsh was pursuing a Master of Strategic Studies degree at age 47, a year before he became Montana's adjutant general overseeing the state National Guard. The board took less than a day to hear the case and make its findings Aug. 22, but the process of appeal and review wasn't completed until Friday. "The board found that then Colonel John Walsh did commit the offense of plagiarism and thus his Master's Degree and status as graduate of the U.S. Army War College should be revoked," War College spokeswoman Carol Kerr said in a statement. |

| #14 True Besoeker. After the revocation of the diploma someone has to go after him and I think it is the TAG's and National Guards lane from there. Reduce him to last honorable rank and cut his 30 year letter up. |

| #13 Roger NoMo, you are correct. Gets my blood pressure elevamated just pondering the crooked snake bastid and his thieving misdeeds. |

| #12 Not the degree cancellation, the subsequent adverse career actions! |

| #11 No National guard organization has the authority to revoke a degree conferred by the U.S. Army War College. .....Spit ! |

| #10 TAG Montana owns this action, as does Chief NGB. |

| #9 Commandant of the War College would be my guess. It happened on his or his predecessor's watch and their installation. The results and academic credential revocation, and any other recommendations would be forwarded to his [Walsh's] chain of command for action. |

| #8 So who actually handles the 15-6, if there was one. Would it be the National Guard? He sounds like a guard officer. So I think OMB might not have the ball on this one. |

| #7 BTW, anyone seen O's college transcripts? Only his KGB detailer, who made the mistake of opening them up just as he took a sip of vodka. So they got sprayed while the agent laughed. So they're pretty much ruined. |

| #5 I stand corrected. Appears to be a pattern. Wonder if it can classified as a group behavior. Third time? |

| #4 He could be a Senator by now. But he is a senator, Procopius2k. Whether he'll be a senator later is a different question. |

| #3 Shades of SGT Bowe Bergdahl. Don't fok'n tell me an AR 15-6 investigation wasn't initiated immediately upon 'serious incident' initial reporting and disclosure. The senior leadership [and I use the term loosely] is complicit. Walsh is not only guilty of plagiarism, but of being lazy, arrogant, and stupid as well. |

| #2 Should have claimed to be a native American to get a job at Harvard. He could be a Senator by now. |

| #1 But, but, but all those forms he signed indicated the work submitted was..... all his own? Potential DEROG (derogatory information/false statements) submitted to the Central Clearance Facility (CCF) and subsequent impact on Security Clearance periodic re-investigations? And his officer Officer Record Brief (ORB), will it be corrected via an 'Army Board For Correction of Military Records' (ABCMR)? And, and, and subsequent promotions based on MILED (military education)? Are promotion board results to be invalidated? What about military pay/military retirement pay based on promotion to the grade of whatever? Department of the Army General Officer Management Office (GOMO)..... crickets, just crickets ? |
