<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nYesterday, I noticed an uptick in traffic to our post about Major General David Haight from late last month<\/a>. HMC Ret sent us link this morning from MSN<\/a> which explains why there was an interest in the story. They drilled down into the details of the salacious story; how Jennifer Armstrong, 49, a government employee, was attracted to the general’s smile and began a torrid love affair with him that lasted ten years.<\/p>\n Armstrong, who told USA TODAY in interviews that the relationship began with a flirty email and ended after assignations with multiple partners at swingers\u2019 clubs, hotels and her home, says Haight had promised a future together. \u201cI gave him the best years of my life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n In a statement issued after news of his reprimand broke, Haight vowed to work with Army investigators untangling his dark, off-duty life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The general had built an enviable career in special operations and light infantry assignments, but one “aw, shit” is all it takes.<\/p>\n Apparently, the general had “Haighters” (see what I did there) who left anonymous tips with the Army Office of Inspector General<\/p>\n In 2015, anonymous tips about Haight\u2019s extramarital affairs were brought to the Pentagon\u2019s inspector general. Ultimately, the Army\u2019s inspector general took the case. The Army ordered Haight to sever contact with Armstrong. Investigators interviewed her and others and substantiated allegations that he had “had an affair and lived a ‘swinger lifestyle.’ ” Investigators also determined that he had spent nearly 24 hours on his government cellphone and sent more than 800 emails on his military computer to Armstrong.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n The letter of reprimand effectively ended his 30-year career. A board will determine his retirement rank. A clean record could have earned Haight as much nearly $123,000 in his first year of retirement. If he\u2019s busted back to colonel, his pay could drop to about $98,000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"haight](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/haight-armstrong.jpg\")
