This one, Chad McRee commanded the 16th MP Brigade of the XVIII Airborne Corps, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This one liked to smooch on his troops&#8217; wives among other things;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>McRee was accused of using &#8220;spies&#8221; and &#8220;moles&#8221; to dig for dirt about soldiers while in command.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple officers said McRee would task them to report negatively on leaders, including the 503rd battalion commander. If they had nothing negative to say, McRee allegedly would respond with statements like &#8220;you owe me,&#8221; &#8220;I write your OER, not [redacted],'&#8221; and &#8220;Why are you afraid of [redacted]? He can&#8217;t hurt you, but I can!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;(McRee) does not trust his subordinates,&#8221; one company commander said. &#8220;Before taking command of the (company, McRee) told me it was my duty to inform him of what people are saying about him [redacted] and to give him a &#8220;pulse&#8221; on the 503d Military police battalion (airborne).&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/story\/military\/2015\/09\/15\/2015-firings-commanding-officer-xo-senior-enlisted-co-cmc-csc\/71885254\/\">Navy Times<\/a> published a list of Commanders, XOs and senior NCOs who have lost their jobs in the Navy just this year &#8211; you know, as if we need a program for the theatrics. <\/p>\n<p>One thing I noticed is that 38% of the commanders fired were female (five of the 13 listed). I wonder how the social justice warriors in the Pentagon feel about that. Most of them were removed for a lack of professional and leadership traits. I&#8217;m sure it is something that can blamed on men, somehow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobo sends us a link to the Army Times reports that yet another Army Colonel has &hellip; <a title=\"Chad McRee; Another Army colonel fired\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61879\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Chad McRee; Another Army colonel fired<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61880,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/61880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
