Air Force officials have fired a commander who oversaw a base in Guam and said his removal was due to conduct that occurred before he held that position. Brig. Gen. Paul R. Birch, commander of the 36th Wing at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, was relieved of his duties "due to shortfalls in his personal conduct prior to taking command," according to a Monday press release from Pacific Air Forces.
"I did not make this decision lightly," Lt. Gen. David Nahom, commander of the 11th Air Force -- which oversees the 36th Wing, said in the press release. "Commanders must always be held to the highest standards."

Rank has its Privilege as the saying goes, and this Lt. General used his rank and position to relieve his subordinate for "shortfalls" in his personal conduct...

We see it in all professions. What possesses a person to throw it all away when they are sitting on the top of the heap?

Dejavu. Good action was taken. Sad this continues to cheapen our officer cadre.
