g(r)omgoru: why does this sound familiar? I'm not sure it is familiar yet - but it will be. Every male accused (not even convicted) of sexual misconduct of any kind - will end up getting separated under Obama's orders.

Purging the ranks and internal destruction of the military through gender wars. Highly effective, both at the top [Petraeus/Broadwell], and at the bottom. The regime is served and well pleased.

An army that can parade is not an army prepared to fight, an army that can fight is not prepared to parade.
Some day something like this will trigger a thought in someone's mind that it's cheaper to give all the applicants scholarships to civil universities that to operate and maintain the academies. Originally West Point was not only set up for military training, but also to produce civil engineers that the young country needed to build its vast expanses.

It WAS misconduct, he admitted to drinking, to being drunk, and to having s@x with another cadet, all of which were conduct violations. Her list of infractions would also include lying about it - which is the only thing HE was - IMO wrongly - convicted of. She should also have been kicked out.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
