Retired colonels bribed active-duty officers, paid military spouse $1.2 million for ‘no-show’ job, to win IT contracts

A retired Army colonel pleaded guilty in federal court last week to conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government through a scheme that involved cash bribes to rig more than $20 million in Pentagon contracts in his favor.

Retired Col. Joseph D. Young, 64, is the latest of four men caught paying bribes in order to illegally obtain information technology contracts at Fort Gordon, Georgia, according to federal court filings.

The other three men pleaded guilty this summer.

So much for the media's and democrats' notions that Lt. Col. Vindman's integrity is beyone question simply by his being in the military.

Damn shame they can't be called back on active duty and marched before a firing squad.
