A key Army commander in the U.S. war against the Islamic State has been reprimanded by the Pentagon for steering a defense contract to a firm run by two of his former classmates at West Point, becoming the latest high-ranking officer to land in trouble for personal misconduct.http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/nat ... story.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Maj. Gen. Dana J.H. Pittard, who as the Army’s deputy commander for operations in the Middle East oversaw the training of Iraqi forces, was formally reprimanded in February after a three-year investigation by the Army’s inspector general, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act.
Pittard skipped the normal promotion process in becoming a Major General personally selected by Obama for accelerated promotions, this is what we get. Why is Obama doing this to our men and women serving our country?
