There have been a number of reports in recent months about what is perceived to be the Obama Administration’s excessive culling of military leaders who do not adhere to Obama’s world view, but there seems to be at least one instance, that of Air Force Major General Michael Carey, in which the dismissal was justified.
In late July of 2013, General Carey was interviewed by Popular Mechanics magazine. From their current piece:
At the time, Carey was Commander of the 20th Air Force, which controls America’s land-based nuclear missiles. He was in town to meet with members of NASDAQ, where we would ring the opening bell in September, and a visit to PopMech happened to fit his schedule. Carey toured the office, checked out our view of Central Park, and sat for an interview about intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests for a feature coming up in our March 2014 magazine.

But just months later, Carey was disgraced. In October the Air Force fired him. Officials offered no details, saying only that the dismissal involved personal conduct.
Now, however, Popular Mechanics has a piece up, HERE, in which they give the gory details.
