I`m curious - I have no military experience and know pretty much nothing about how discipline is carried out.
Let us assume that someone is excellent and nearly flawless in taking care of their responsibilities... But a terrible person with an awful personality. At what point does their personality and related actions overtake their great record in performance?

I am wondering if perhaps the reassignment instead of dismissal is based on something like this? Clearly they were doing something right to have been continually promoted into positions of authority... And the article you linked to points out that it wasn`t a case of being godfathered in.

Have their been other similar cases? If so, what sort of action was taken then?
