Two USAF Nuke Commanders Fired, Another Disciplined

[Webster]

...and these are the people our leaders have in charge of America's nuclear arsenal?

The Air Force on Monday fired two more nuclear commanders and disciplined a third, fresh evidence of leadership lapses in a nuclear missile corps that has suffered a rash of recent setbacks, including the firing last year of its top commander.

The most senior officer to be relieved Monday was Col. Carl Jones, the No. 2 commander of the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, in charge of 150 of the Air Force's 450 Minuteman 3 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles. He was dismissed "for a loss of trust and confidence in his leadership abilities," and has been reassigned as a special assistant to the wing commander.

Lt. Col. John Sheets, spokesman for Air Force Global Strike Command, which is in charge of the Air Force Minuteman 3 force as well as its nuclear bomber fleet, said that as a result of the Minot investigation a missile squadron commander, Lt. Col. Jimmy "Keith" Brown, was relieved of command Monday "because of a loss of confidence in Brown's ability to lead his squadron."

Sheets said the investigation "substantiated that Brown engaged in unlawful discrimination or harassment." He added that the probe found that Brown "made statements to subordinates that created a perception within his squadron that pregnancy would negatively affect a woman's career."

The second officer targeted in the Minot investigation was Col. Richard Pagliuco, commander of the 91st Operations Group, which is in charge of the three missile squadrons at Minot, including Brown's, Sheets said the investigation confirmed that Pagliuco "failed to promote and safeguard the morale, well-being and welfare of the airmen under his command." Pagliuco received administrative punishment in the form of a letter in his personnel file.(NBC News)

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

This is what you get when you have a corrupt government. Discipline begins to fall apart all around. Just look at the Secret Service and what a sorry excuse they have become. And also add to the fact we have turned our military into one big social experiment already adding to the low morale of weak leadership and years of of horrible rules of engagement. Its just another stage of our decline.

This kind of stuff, Liberty, predates about 4 or 5 presidents...and given the military's supposed contempt for Pres. Obama - which shouldn't matter but still... - its' a surprise more stories like this don't come out in the news....

Think about this for a moment, though, Liberty: its' naturally assumed that most of the chattering class media are - for better or for worse - in the tank for the Left...if so, why even report this stuff? Why not hide it away until there's a Republican in the White House, then dump it all out then?
