It seems the good general not only has an extramarital playmate, he&#8217;s also in bed with defense contractors;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Brig. Gen. Michael Bobeck has been the focus of an internal investigation into an extramarital affair \u2014 a violation of military law \u2014 and misuse of government resources, according to Defense Department officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the investigation. The probe remains open, and Bobeck has been reassigned pending its outcome.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bobeck began his career as an infantry soldier then got a commission with ROTC and flew helicopters &#8211; he commanded a company of the 160th SOAR &#8211; special operations aviators.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Bobeck rejects any suggestion that he would have abused his military position to benefit himself or a defense contractor, said his Army lawyer, Lt. Col. Adam Kazin. Moreover, Bobeck was in no position to award or influence contracts, Kazin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny implication that there was any wrongdoing is very upsetting to him,\u201d Kazin said. \u201cAbusing his position to enrich himself is not in line with how he views himself.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He was living rent-free in an apartment that an executive for <a href=\"http:\/\/peduzziassociates.com\/\">Peduzzi Associates Ltd.<\/a>, an Alexandria, Va.-based consulting firm provided for him. You know, because the Army doesn&#8217;t pay flag officers enough to afford good housing for themselves after their wife tosses them out for extramarital monkey shines.
