Burning the wick at both ends would be putting it mildly.

No reflection on the unit. It's more of a disgrace that the Army promoted this f-tard.

Total ignoramus self-destruction. Hardly a reflection on the 173rd Airborne Brigade. Hopefully he'll get to split some rocks in Leavenworth.

So now he's off to Leavenworth. And when he gets out, his pension will be gone. The things some guys will do for a woman.

Alas, I find myself saying this much too frequently. My BTN Commander was relieved of command as we left Iraq in 2010. Originally Posted by bpm990d

I agree, I had the "pleasure" of having LTC Allen West as my BN CDR when he was forced into retirement in Tikrit in 2003. I'm also authorized the 173rd BDE combat patch, but what really gets me about this story is that ALL the other indicators didn't bring up any flags for the military, nothing about the missing money, anything except the wife speaking up. Something like this should not be able to happen.

You, sir, are making the classic mistake of trusting the upper army to know it's ass from it's elbow. I give anything above Company level a 1 in 6 chance of doing anything right.
