Once upon a time an American leader (unknown and time) was saying that Pakistanis could sell their mother for a cheap benefit!
Now, what happened when two four star generals are under fire against a cheap affairs? David Petraeus as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency after an adulterous and Gen. John Allen, the Marine officer who succeeded Mr. Petraeus as the top military commander in Afghanistan 16 months ago found indulged for a affair that can not be described in simple words.
Moreover, Gen. William Ward of the Army, known as Kip, the first officer to open
the new Africa Command, came under scrutiny for allegations of misusing
tens of thousands of government dollars for travel and lodging.Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, a former deputy commander of the 82nd
Airborne Division in Afghanistan, is confronting the military equivalent
of a grand jury to decide whether he should stand trial for adultery, sexual misconduct and forcible sodomy, stemming from relationships with five women.
James H. Johnson III, a former commander of the 173rd Airborne Brigade,
was expelled from the Army, fined and reduced in rank to lieutenant
colonel from colonel after being convicted of bigamy and fraud stemming from an improper relationship with an Iraqi woman and business dealings with her family.
The Air Force is struggling to recover from a scandal
at its basic training center at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, where
six male instructors were charged with crimes including rape and
adultery after female recruits told of sexual harassment and sexual
assault.
In the Navy, Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette was relieved of command
of the Stennis aircraft carrier strike group — remarkably while the
task force was deployed in the Middle East. Officials said that the move
was ordered after “inappropriate leadership judgment.” No other details
were given.
While there is no evidence that David H. Petraeus
had an extramarital affair while serving as one of the nation’s most
celebrated generals, his resignation last week as director of the
Central Intelligence Agency — a job President Obama said he could take
only if he left the Army — was a sobering reminder of the kind of
inappropriate behavior that has cast a shadow over the military’s
highest ranks.
The reason of loosing each war of America just because of cheap attitude by their top rankers. If top brass can indulge themselves in meaningless activities, it could be said that only a cigarette of opium or a sachet of heroin can turn them into self state nation!
