With old cliches about drunken sailors and military language, not to mention M*A*S*H*, etc. I can't help but wonder how men with exemplary careers are suddenly ousted on vague rumors and unsubstantiated accusation.

High ranking officers with high levels of security clearance have been dismissed recently.

Lieutenant General James Kowalski came up in most of the articles, so I've included a link to his bio.

The resignation of General Petraeus seems to have launched a cavalcade of high ranking officials leaving the military after stellar careers and outstanding service to the country. With the last two coming through the government shutdown, I just can't help but wonder why someone had enough authority to fire trust high ranking officers, but didn't have enough authority to deliver burial benefits to grieving families. Of course, with these, odd charges of conduct, I can't help but wonder what part of the agenda they refused to go along with.
