Don't Say the Army Doesn't Punish Their Own

Army dumps general for personal misconduct
This is an extreme action and should put to rest all the liberal BS about the military's unwillingness to hold high-ranking officers accountable-- can be held much more accountable then being fired and possibly charged.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The four-star general who headed the U.S. Army's training program has been fired after an investigation into sexual misconduct, officials said on Tuesday.
In a rare punishment of a four-star officer -- the highest rank in the military -- Gen. Kevin Byrnes was fired as commanding general of the Army Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Monroe in Virginia, the Army said in a statement.
Army officials did not rule out the possibility of criminal charges or additional administration discipline.
'The investigation upon which this relief is based is undergoing further review to determine the appropriate final disposition of this matter,' the Army said.
