Number-two nuke commander demoted

The Navy has reprimanded a former top leader of U.S. nuclear forces for gambling, but it's letting Rear Admiral Timothy Giardina remain in uniform as a staff officer. Giardina was the number-two nuke commander. The Navy says he violated the military's code of conduct. A Navy criminal investigation failed to determine with certainty how he got fake poker chips that he used last summer at a casino in Iowa. The Navy says Giardina will not challenge the letter of reprimand and the $4,000 fine by requesting a court-martial.

Guess he kissed butt in time to avoid the fate of dozens of other officers.
