The Pentagon inspector general is examining allegations that Lonnie W. Smith, a high-ranking manager in the intelligence directorate at U.S. Central Command retaliated against a subordinate who complained that Smith used his influence to help his son-in-law get a job at Centcom - a potential violation of a federal law barring nepotism.

Smith was unable to meet the criteria for Polk County schools to qualify for principal; and is now in charge of a critical department of our Countries national security at US Centcom.  His son-in-law obtains a job that happens to be at the same work place as a civilian employee.  Then he sucessfully pulls the clearance of an active duty personel! Does anybody see where this is leading?  More jobs for the civilians and get rid of the active duty, What are we going to hear next?  Kick backs?  We don’t need this right now in our own Country, we got our Ports back from UAE, now let our Active Duty and decent hardworking civilian personal do their jobs..the honest way!  It’s time for an Ethics check and this investigation should continue.

I can’t believe that someone who claims to be mentally competent would go public, telling the world that for six months she had a hormone imbalance. That in itself makes a person confused, forgetful and and not competent to work in such an important field as Military Secrets. She let the world know she is unstable and now wants to blame someone else for bringing her lack of mental deficet to her attention so she could get the help she despately needed.
She ought to be thankful that her need was noticed so she could get medical attention to correct it.
