An Air Force colonel who was fired a year ago as the commander of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio will face a court-martial on charges of having an affair and “fraternization,” the military’s term for an unethical relationship with a subordinate. After an investigation, Col. Christopher B. Meeker was charged on Oct. 25 under three articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, base officials said in a release Wednesday.

Meeker was removed from command of the 88th Air Base Wing and as the base commander of Wright-Patterson on Dec. 29, 2023, by Lt. Gen. Donna D. Shipton for what officials termed a “loss of confidence in his ability to lead,” a boiler-plate phrase used in the military when a leader is relieved. Meeker had assumed command in July 2022.

According to the Air Force’s online UCMJ docket, Meeker faces charges of disobeying a lawful command, extramarital sexual conduct and fraternization.

No details of the charges were available but Shipton — the general who would have been the convening authority in Meeker’s court-martial — is a “potential” material witness and transferred the case to Maj. Gen. Charle Bolton, the 18th Air Force Commander at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What possesses someone who has worked as hard as he to get where he is and give it all up to get a little fresh leg is beyond me!  But, as once was commonly noted in the military, "A stiff d_ck has no conscience." **nononono*

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Thinking with the wrong head may seem tactically okay, but it is poor strategy.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
