<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nAccording to Stars & Stripes<\/a>, Marine Brigadier General Rick A. Uribe<\/a> took advantage of his staff while he was was the senior ranking Marine, deputy commanding general for operations in Baghdad and director of the Combined Joint Operations Center in as part of the anti-ISIS coalition from 2016-2017.<\/p>\n Marine Brig. Gen. Rick A. Uribe \u2014 who had served previously as the inspector general of the Marine Corps \u2014 often had his aide pick up his laundry, deliver his meals, write his unofficial correspondence and stand by gym equipment he wanted to use to make sure no one else could use it, the Pentagon IG said in a report.<\/p>\n Uribe also let his aide pay for his haircuts, borrowed cash and used Wi-Fi access she paid for without reimbursing her, the report found.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n If it’s true, that was pretty shitty of him. Real leaders don’t take advantage of their subordinates like that.<\/p>\n But days after he returned to the U.S. from Iraq in June 2017, a Defense Department hotline complaint alleged that during the course of the one-year deployment, his aide\u2019s \u201centire existence as aide-de-camp centered on personal servitude.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n His defense was that he had never been a general or had an aide before;<\/p>\n The aide, who is unnamed in the report, told investigators she had told him, \u201cI\u2019m doing a lot more stuff like your personal type of items. Like, that\u2019s not my job as an aide.\u201d<\/p>\n To which she said Uribe replied only, \u201cUnderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n Some of those personal services included stripping the sheets from the general\u2019s bed and turning them in to be cleaned, as well as spending hours arranging to have his prescription toothpaste shipped to Iraq. The aide also alleged that he hoarded about $150 in chocolates and coffee sent to him by a lieutenant colonel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Oh, well, there’s coffee and chocolate involved – totally legit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
