Military commander used official email system to decribe masturbation after meeting congresswoman

[RandySF]

After meeting with Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) a commander of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division sent out emails describing the congresswoman as "smoking hot" and joked in another email to a male colleague that he had masturbated while thinking about her after their meeting.

Those emails and other details of top military commanders "behaving badly" came out in a document dump reported by The Washington Post. In the case of Ellmers, the Post report details how Brigadier General Martin P. Schweitzer, then a colonel, described Ellmers as "smoking hot."

"Briefing went well . . . she was engaging . . . had done her homework. She wants us to know’ she stands with us and will work/push to get the Fort Bragg family [redacted]," an email from Schweitzer read. "She is smoking hot."

The emails surfaced as a result of an investigation into the emails of Jeffrey A. Sinclair, a commander who faces a court-martial over sexual assault and adultery. The Post reported that the Army "censored the most offensive e-mail in its entirety, citing personal privacy interests."

Sinclair joked to Schweitzer about his email regarding Ellmers, "He sucks still needs to confirm hotness."

Schweitzer responded to Sinclair's email more than an hour later, apologizing for the delay in responding to the email, teasing that he had masturbated "3 times over the past 2 hours."

1. Hmmmmm........leading by example?

No wonder the military has sexual assault/rape issues with these bozos in charge.

4. When you are reduced to bragging about your masturbatory exploits...

...that's just really pathetic.

"Hey, you see that hot chick over there? I met her yesterday."

"Oh yeah? Did she sleep with you?"

"No, but I jerked off five times!"

I mean.... that is some fucked up shit right there.

Golly, by that standard, me and about millions of other teenage boys got it on with Farah Fawcett at least once a day for about three years straight in the 1970's.

6. That guy has authority to quash all rape prosecutions

of men under his command. Yet the Gillibrand bill is going to die.

It just goes to show what masturbation does to the mind.

5. Incompetence breeds stupidity

9. And jerking off three times a day doesn't help

Or so I was led to believe in my youth.
