Army Secretary Statement on Accountability Review of Ft. Hood Shooting ReleasedSecretary of the Army John McHugh released the following statement today:
“I
have directed Gen. Carter Ham to conduct an accountability review to
identify whether any personnel were responsible for failures or
deficiencies in applying Army programs, policies, and procedures to the
alleged assailant. Further, he will provide a
recommendation as to whether disciplinary or adverse action is
warranted by each finding, and if so, the nature of such disciplinary
or adverse action and the basis for such recommendation.
“In
addition, I have requested that Gen. Ham provide me with any general
observations he may have developed as a senior leader in our Army, and
as a member of the Independent Panel, that he believes may be of help
to the Army in charting a way ahead.
“We are an Army that is grounded on disciplined and established standards. Leaders
at every level are responsible for ensuring that our policies and
regulations are followed and that appropriate action is taken if they
are not.
“We must use this incident as an opportunity to reinforce the basics of leader involvement with soldiers. It is this fabric that binds us together in war, and we must ensure that it is continuously strengthened.”

West Point, N.Y.
........ The class of 1976—who left West Point at a low point for both the Army
and its famed training ground—has produced a striking number of
generals now influencing the shape of the U.S. military. All told, at
least 33 active and retired generals, now all in their mid-50s, were
among its 855 graduating members. Gen. McChrystal’s deputy in Kabul,
Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez, was a classmate, as was the officer leading
U.S. efforts to train the Iraqi army, Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick. Retired
Lt. Gen. Dave Barno, who spent 19 months as the top commander in
Afghanistan, was also West Point ’76. Read More...

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — West Point officials who ordered anti-war
demonstrators out of an Army-Navy basketball game did not violate their
First Amendment rights, a federal jury decided Wednesday. The
jury found that the protesters' message — they wore T-shirts spelling
out "U.S. out of Iraq" — was not the main reason for their expulsion. The
eight protesters, admittedly looking for attention, stood in the top
row of the bleachers to display their message as the national anthem
was played before a game in 2004. Building manager John Spisso ordered
them to cover up the shirts or leave, and when they refused, they were
escorted out by military police, held for three hours and charged with
disorderly conduct. Read More...
