Former Blue Angels commander under investigation

Ex-Blue Angels leader Capt. Gregory McWherter, was removed April 18 from his post as executive officer at the U.S. Naval Base Coronado in Southern California by Vice Admiral William French, commander of Navy Installations Command based on initial findings of an ongoing investigation into allegations of misconduct and an “inappropriate command climate” at the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.

The latest from PC central in Washington.
In DC, whoring around is part of the right of politics, but for men who fight and die so politicians can keep getting their paycheck, a man acting like a man is forbidden.

Well boo-hoo. If that’s what makes a man, what a sorry excuse it is.

At the time, the Navy said only that it was investigating “inappropriate command climate” at the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron based at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla.

However, an ongoing investigation has indicated that McWherter, during his two stints as Blue Angels leader between 2008 and 2012, “tolerated an inappropriate work environment within the squadron which may have violated the Navy’s sexual harassment, hazing and equal opportunity policies,” a Navy statement said.

“The complaint alleges that lewd speech, inappropriate comments, and sexually explicit humor were allowed in the workplace and in some case encouraged by the commanding officer,” and that “pornographic images were displayed in the workplace and shared in electronic communications,” the statement said.

All Navy leaders, whether assigned to a highly visible unit like the ‘Blues,’ or to our installations, squadrons, ships and submarines, are held to the highest standards,” Vice Admiral David Buss, commander of the Naval Air Forces, said in the statement. “The Navy expects everyone, from those officers in command positions to sailors on the waterfront, to provide principled and highly ethical leadership, stressing discipline, accountability, and the importance of treating shipmates with dignity and respect.”

This is NAVY INTERNAL. Politics/DC has nothing to do with this.

The investigation accused McWherter that he “tolerated an inappropriate work environment” in the Blue Angels while serving as its commanding officer.

The inquiry stemmed from a complaint alleging that “lewd speech, inappropriate comments and sexually explicit humor were allowed in the workplace and in some cases encouraged by the commanding officer,” the Navy said. The complaint also said there had been pornographic images displayed or shared.

Whatever this fabricated accusations, Capt. Greg McWherter stayed one of the best pilots in the NAVY and Blue Angels ever, as he is one of the fewer pilots leading Blue Angels for two tours.

I think the article/author you quoted earlier already has an opinion/judgement/conclusion ready.

Strange sentence about the US Military, where a significant number of soldiers is female!
