Leadership can be toxic (catch all)
Moderator's Note
Five threads merged today. There maybe others but I only searched using toxic.(ends)
The CO of 2/508 and his CSM have been relieved in Afghanistan. And the former CO is asking for a lawyer.

I feel for the soldiers in the unit most of all.
They may be better off, may not be.
No way to tell from that article. Could be a deserved relief, could be totally flaky. Interesting that they hit both the CO and the CSM; I'm not at all sure that treating those two as a package as the Army seems to intend is really very smart. A good CSM gets paid to keep his Boss out of trouble; pack 'em together and the incentive to do that is diluted.
Maybe it's just me but that 'Army Values' foolishness is suspicious... :confused: :rolleyes:
Take a while for the real story to come out. :(
Not good: CO and CSM relieved
Lots of speculation out there but we'll all know in the days ahead. I for onr simply hope that the CoC got this one right, and its not something that we'll be hearing about a year from now
