U.S. Army dumps general for personal misconduct

WASHINGTON, Aug 9 (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.

....

An Army official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the disciplinary action followed an investigation by the Defense Department inspector general's office into "allegations of personal misconduct of a sexual nature."

The official offered no further details of the allegations against Byrnes, who is married.

4. The Republicans don't *really* care about sexual misconduct...

when one of their own is the culprit. I'm betting on a hunch that this general had been speaking out against this war.
