Joint Chiefs Of Staff Distracted

Chairman Martin Dempsey says there's good reason to ask whether the joint chiefs of staff is distracted by recent tales of misconduct by senior officers. The Pentagon has demoted a four-star general for misusing travel money and it's put others' careers on hold pending the results of investigations into Marine Gen. John Allen's relationship with a Tampa socialite. But in a blog post, Demsey says: no, military leaders are not distracted because they cannot afford to be. He says they're concerned but committed to learning and adapting. Dempsey says service members and their families' well-being remains the chiefs' top priority.
