That's what I'm holding out for.

Still not much in the way of details on this one, unless you believe the comments posted under several of the news articles found on various online news outlets. Many folks chiming in that he was a model commander, but others saying he took a down turn after assuming BDE command.

You really cant make stuff like this up. I feel sorry for the kids, it is tough enough going through something like this but to have it made so public must be an extra burden.

Yeah, saw the article on the homepage. Wow...

From almost no information provided in the first article to a whole lot of crazy shit... yeah sucks for the kid to be caught in all this. Really sucks for the wife as well if this is all true. The article mentions that he's made allegations against her too, but nothing is detailed in the article.

I think it's the only real nice thing about being an O-6.

Holy crap, didn't expect it to come out like that. I'm really curious about the Iraqi mistress. Not a whole lot of info out on that.
