US Nuclear Commander Suspended Over Gambling
mdsolar writes "The No 2 officer at the military command in charge of all US nuclear war-fighting forces has been suspended and is under investigation by the naval criminal investigation command for issues related to gambling, officials said on Saturday. The highly unusual action against a high-ranking officer at US strategic command was made more than three weeks ago but not publicly announced. Air force general Robert Kehler, who heads Strategic Command, suspended the deputy commander, navy vice admiral Tim Giardina, from his duties on September 3, according to the command's top spokeswoman, navy captain Pamela Kunze. Giardina is still assigned to the command but is prohibited from performing duties related to nuclear weapons and other issues requiring a security clearance, she said."

No worries. United States Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper is in control.

In this case, the Vice Admiral's title was quite a tell.

You can have either, but not both.
Oh that's right - they are only "shareholders" now and the company changed it's name so there's obviously been no mob involvement since that last court case about it, how long ago? Maybe two years ago?
