Admirals..bribery...I don't remember seeing this here yet

Post by RiverguyVT »

Did I miss it?

60! 60 admirals?!? These aren't 1st Mates...Admirals!?!
(not to detract from the story...but..why do we even have 60 admirals? Bloat!)

Wow. Thanx for Sharing that. I had not heard about it either.

A couple thoughts:

1. If that is true, the admirals should go to prison.
2. A fine piece of investigative reporting. Begun during the Obama administration in 2011 and reported only now. Not that I don’t trust the Washington Post, but…
3. The post and other media outlets are working very hard, very very hard to ignore much worse scandals in the Clinton foundation. And yet they find the time and energy to delve into this. The left has always hated the military and always wants to embarrass them. And they do it with an investigation of Obama era fleet officers and bring it to light during the Trump administration. Sounds about right.

It’s the Washington post…

I am not diminishing or dismissing the seriousness of this. This is a disgrace. Military and especially general officers should be held to a higher standard. They deserve a very harsh punishment if this is true.

This investigation has been going on for a long time. Leonard Francis has already plead guilty. This isn't the Washington Post. It's the Navy and DOJ.

I'd also be surprised if there were a bunch of admirals taking kickbacks or some other form of payment. Having the fat guy pay for dinners at a fancy restaurant? Would not be surprised.

Going to parties with prostitutes? Bad idea. But, better than buggering your bunkmate.

You raise a good point about the police. Crooked military and crooked police really are just two sides of the same, sacred cow coin.
