WASHINGTON (Aug. 10) - In an extraordinary move, the Army sacked a four-star general who was the subject of a Defense Department investigation into alleged sexual misconduct, officials said Tuesday.

Gen. Kevin P. Byrnes, commander of Army Training and Doctrine Command, was approaching retirement when the decision to relieve him of duty was made by the Army chief of staff, Gen. Peter Schoomaker.

The Army announced no specific allegation against Byrnes, but a senior official said it involved unspecified sexual misconduct. The official spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the allegation.

Definetly a public "PC" move by the Army to demonstrate activeness.

It's also probable he has recently caused some waves within that four star sphere, and plus the Army gets to save a few pennies on paying out that big fat 4-star retirement (I've seen that before at lower levels).

I'm all cool with the "Higher standards of Ethics" they are blathering about, but heck he was legally seperated and appears no conflict of interests either.

The Army just wanted to can em.
