Well shite! That could be anything. Seriously, I still have improperly using government resources from when I was in the Air Force. There are things that I borrowed and still find useful.

It could be he took a pair of gloves home, or it could be he brought back an M-4 from Afghanistan.

The army is saying "misappropriation of funds".

IOW, only Generals with Congressional friends can steal from taxpayers!!

My guess is he was anti-woke. But he could have been corrupt.

At this point I'm ready to die, just let everything burn...

The latter is probably the correct answer.

Not sure what he did but most E9s deserve anything bad they get, you have to stab lots of good people in the back to get to E9
