This is the 2nd O-6 I knew at Vicenza that has been relieved of command.
I got the back story on this and while the article doesn't give details he was drunker than cooter-brown at the Official Post 4th of July celebration and then, against all conventional wisdom and DIRECT conversations, decided to drive home, blowing past the gate on his way out! The MPs and Carbonari, visibly pissed that he didn’t stop at the gate, went to his house and showed him that the MP Shoulder Brassard is just one more rank than yours!
