In reply to the discussion: 82nd's Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair removed from job in Afghanistan [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)10. I found it at Army Times--they were essentially recycling the report you cited.
When they say "criminal" they don't mean poor leadership. They mean the guy did something blatantly illegal, like stole, or assaulted, or murdered, or something on those lines.
He's been shoved in a SPECASST job for now (unlikely that he killed anyone, then--there'd be pre-trial confinement in that case, I should think) but it's entirely possible that he was abusing subordinates in some fashion....or stealing.
I don't know anyone in that millieu who could answer the question--I've been gone too long to have any connections!
