The head of US special operations is putting out new guidance following ethics concerns, high-profile scandals in his force

In the midst of a Defense Department review of U.S. Special Operations Command, including a dissection of the organizations ethics programs, the four-star in charge of all American special operations troops is calling for an in-house analysis starting in the new year.

In an email to the force sent Wednesday morning, Army Gen. Tony Thomas alluded to a raft of alleged criminal activity that has put his special operations forces in the headlines in recent months.

“A survey of allegations of serious misconduct across our formations over the last year indicate that USSOCOM faces a deeper challenge of a disordered view of the team and the individual in our SOF culture,” he wrote.

NOT impressed with General Clark as a Special Operations commander. He has spent his  entire career wearing red and marching in a straight line as an officer in conventional parachute units,and has a whole chestful of ribbons with only one that means anything,his CIB. Given that he is a West Point officer,in his case it means he happened to be within 100 miles of where a rifle shot was heard. You can tell by his lack of valor and Purple Heart awards that he was never actually in combat.

I feel sorry for the Special Operations people that are going to have to try to do their very difficult jobs under the watchful eye of this careerist.
