But Jackson is no longer a retired admiral. The Navy demoted him in July 2022 following a damaging Pentagon inspector general’s report that substantiated allegations about his inappropriate behavior as a White House physician, a previously unreported decision confirmed by a current defense official and a former U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive personnel move.

Kuzminski also said that it was inappropriate for Jackson to describe himself as a retired rear admiral. “While it is possible that others will mistakenly refer to him as ‘Admiral’ in perpetuity, he himself should not make that mistake,” she said.

A Navy official confirmed that the service took unspecified action against Jackson in the wake of the 2021 inspector general report, which found that Jackson berated subordinates in the White House medical unit, “made sexual and denigrating statements” about a female subordinate, consumed alcohol inappropriately with subordinates and consumed the sleep drug Ambien while on duty as the president’s physician. At the time of the report, Jackson was classified by the Navy as a rear admiral (lower half), a one-star admiral that is distinct from the two-star rear admiral position.

“The substantiated allegations in the DoDIG investigation of Rear Adm (lower half) Ronny Jackson are not in keeping with the standards the Navy requires of its leaders and, as such, the Secretary of the Navy took administrative action in July 2022,” Lt. Cmdr. Joe Keiley, a Navy spokesperson, said via email.

The rest of the story about this ass is seriously eye-opening.

[LakeVermilion]

1. He'll be reclassified to a higher rank...

if TFG assumes power.

2. Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Force

And Five Stars.

6. Did not realize there was a paywall. Mea Culpa.

8. ...

[grumpyduck]

5. In his case, I think the "rear" refers to rear end,

as of some disgusting scavenger.

[magicarpet]

11. Posterior Admiral with zero stars....

The trDUMP White House drug dealer and world class sychophant to the Orange Messiah.

7. Now do General Flynn!

[marble falls]

9. 20 years in Leavenworth busted to buck private and peeling potatoes sounds about right.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

10. Do a Billy Mitchell on Flynn. Bust him down to Colonel.

Billy Mitchell lost his General rank because the After the Navy dirigible USS Shenandoah crashed in a violent storm killing 14, Mitchell accused the Army and Navy leadership of incompetence and "almost treasonable administration of the national defense." Court-martialed and convicted of insubordination, he was suspended from active duty for five years without pay.

Michael Flynn should be looked at as well for his work as a Foreign agent to Russia. A Far more egregious offense given how Russia is an adversary of the US and NOT to be trusted.

16. Hassin Bin Sober...For sure!

Flynn is a disgrace...

[coprolite]

12. Apparently he is a Captain now

🎶Captain Jack will get me high tonight 🎶

13. K&R for, anchors aweigh

14. Getting under way checklist complete. No discrepancies.

17. Wouldn't this be enough for Dr. Jackson to lose his medical license?

[progressoid]

18. Wait...Obama gave him the promotion to Admiral?

That's...um...interesting. Wonder how/why that happened.

But in the White House, Jackson’s approach won him favor within two presidential administrations. Obama, who personally chose Jackson as his physician in 2013, considered him a friend and promoted him to a one-star admiral in October 2016.
