STUTTGART, Germany — Maj. Gen. Ryan Gonsalves’ nomination for a third star has been pulled in the wake of an Army Inspector General’s probe that found he disrespected a female congressional staffer when he called her “sweetheart.â€
A report of the investigation into the incident was provided Friday to Stars and Stripes and determined the “preponderance of the evidence†indicated Gonsalves referred to the staffer as "sweetheart" during an October 2016 meeting.
