BEAT ‘EM, CHEAT ‘EM, BUT DON’T BANG ONE OF ‘EM

You can lie your way into an unnecessary war, you can lie about armor for the troops and you can lie about diverting the troops' money to Halliburton, and you might get the Presidential Medal of Freedom from this corrupt administration.

Gen. Kevin P. Byrnes, 55, led the Army's Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Monroe, Va., where he supervised the recruitment and academic programs at 33 Army schools, from basic training to the war colleges. Byrnes, who several military sources said had a previously unblemished record, was set to retire in November after 36 years of service.

Several defense sources familiar with the case, speaking anonymously because the investigation is not complete, said Byrnes is accused of having an "inappropriate relationship," and some described him as being involved in an extramarital affair.
