Menard was convicted of violating military rules regarding misconduct because of his affair with a young woman and of the arguably more serious charge of trying to impede a military investigation into that misconduct by lying twice to investigators and encouraging the woman to do the same. He was fined $7,000 and busted in rank to colonel. He could have been dismissed from the army but he had already resigned his commission before his trial began.

That being the case, why does it make him a scumbag for finding other work in what he knows? He's gone from the CF, did you think he wouldn't find work?

One wonders:

1.  What Garda's frat rules are;
2.  Whether he will be armed, and with what; and
3.  What he will do this time.

I just want to know what the hell we would officially call the ex-General ex-Colonel guy who resigned his commission now?

I have no doubt that his job consists of riding a desk there.

Who do lots of people watch on TV every week night, has scads of money, is loved by the Lefties, is married with young children, and has had sex with several female employees (subordinates) of his company?

Not much was said, written, reported after it was revealed. A bit, but not much. Of course he apologized. Don't know if he found God or not.

To modernize the old phrase "There is a Law for the Rich and a Law for the Poor", to "There is no Law for the Left, and Laws for the Right".

Agreed.  He wasn't found guilty of being a person who couldn't make timely decisions under the presence of an armed enemy, or that he couldn't stomach the tedious war-like environment.  If garda thinks he can be an asset, why bash him or them?  He got a little too close to a subordinate and got caught, doesn't make him a bad assest, it makes him a person who was caught in a position he wasn't supposed to be in. No more, no less.

Good on him for finding work where he was, obviously, very good at. Less the improper conduct with the people who worked for him.

Not to rub salt in the wound, but he also mishandled a weapon around his boss, putting other soldiers at risk:

True, he manned up to the offense.  Nonetheless, it would be interesting to hear more about what he does for Garda.

 

[frank1515]

True enough, but he's not the only soldier to have been charged with an ND. He just so happened to be a field commander at the time.

 

[Loachman]

He got a little too close to a subordinate and got caught,

And tried to obstruct an investigation into the matter.
That is far more serious.

Had he not done that, he would have merely looked like a twit who couldn't control either weapon, rather than a lying, dishonourable twit who couldn't control either weapon.
