Army general disciplined over mishandling of sexual-assault case in Japan:

There is an old cliche out in big business, military or government that goes, “if a person f–ks up enough, either promote or hide them.”

That seems to be the case with Maj. Gen. Michael T. Harrison Sr., the commander of U.S. Army forces in Japan. A colonel on his staff had been accused of having an affair with a subordinate, of drunken and inappropriate behavior with other women at a military club and lastly, of sexual assault.

Harrison turned a blind eye to most of the complaints, let them slide or reacted with extreme leniency. He had known the colonel in one of the incidents for two decades and said he didn’t believe some of the allegations.

In March 2013, when a Japanese woman accused the colonel of sexually assaulting her, Harrison waited months to report it to criminal investigators which is a clear violation of Army rules.

Harrison was put in the penalty box in June for the mishandling of the case. This case was just one of many Harrison turned his back to. He received a slap on the wrist for his lenient handling of the cases or as the military classifies it “an administrative letter of reprimand”; that was the extent of his punishment. We can call it military influenza; too high of a rank to put on KP (kitchen police).

A letter of reprimand is a very common way of administering punishment in the upper echelons of business and politics.  What it represents is; the powers to be  want to formally chew the persons ass out for making a mistake but they don’t want to punish them because they have too much affluenza.  So they slap them on the wrist and make them stand in the corner for a half an hour.  Same punishment that was given to WBC (Wild Bill Clinton).  You have to remember the under the desk thing!!

If someone under the general’s command would have been as lax in their duties as he was they would be in the brig for a few years pealing potatoes.

In a true political clandestine maneuver, the Army brought Harrison back to the Pentagon to take another important position, as director of program analysis and evaluation for an Army deputy chief of staff.

I wonder who or what the Evaluator General Harrison is evaluating?

If nothing else, we have to give these dastardly dudes one thing, they go to the wall for their own.
