Standing At Attention And No One To Salute At

An Army general accused of sexually assaulting a junior officer will plead guilty to three of four charges against him. Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair maintains innocence on the most serious charge of forced sex. His accuser is a female captain with whom he had an affair. Adultery is a crime in the military. His defense lawyers say his accuser lied under oath about her handling of an iPhone containing photos and text messages. Sinclair's lawyer says the general will plead guilty to having improper relationships with two other female Army officers and to committing adultery. He'll admit violating orders by possessing pornography in Afghanistan. And he'll admit to conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. Sinclair is the former deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne. He faces life in prison if convicted of the remaining sexual assault charges.

Adultery is a sin , much worse that a crime in the military.

was Petraeus a Civilian or still Military when he was head of the CIA?

They drummed up some extra marital affair to keep him from having credibility in testifying in Benghazi hearings --pretty quickly when he was the link to the truth..

Kind of a coincidence his Wife holds a $300,000 plus job at the Federal Reserve

If this guy is a Republican you can bet he will spend time in Jail. Obama is purging all the Generals and officers that are smart enough to arrest him and take over the government. Obama is scared.
