Top US commander fired over sex claims
Saturday Apr 06, 2013

The commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, Maj. Gen. Ralph Baker was stripped of his command on March 28 by the outgoing head of AFRICOM Gen. Carter Ham, officials added on Friday.

Baker lost his post because of “misconduct that caused a loss of confidence in his ability to command,” Pentagon spokesman Major Rob Firman said in a statement.

The statement did not give further details about Baker's alleged misconduct.

“As these allegations of misconduct remain under adjudication, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further,” Firman's statement added.

Was practically expected of the Infantry in the 50s and 60s and 70s when my father served. Units used to hold officer calls in strip joints and get lap dances.
