The senior enlisted soldier at Fort Hood, Texas, has been reinstated following an investigation into allegations that he used unprofessional language toward subordinates, according to a brief statement on the matter.

The investigation concluded Friday and determined that Command Sgt. Maj. Arthur Burgoyne’s language “was not unprofessional and he did not exhibit counterproductive leadership,” according to a statement from Army Forces Command, which oversees Fort Hood and ran the investigation.

Burgoyne was temporarily suspended in mid-December over the allegations. He was cleared of wrongdoing and placed back in his role as the command sergeant major for III Corps and Fort Hood roughly one month later.

We need tough soldiers like him, not pussfoots who tiptoe around being politically correct.

And real soldiers know it.

They respected Patton for the same reasons.  He kept them alive.

This problem is only to get worse as more and more REMF's take senior command positions over actual combat arms divisions.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong with a PC commanded combat arms military?
