CSM McKinney?

I couldn't find this anywhere else in here. CSM (Ret) McKinney intentionally hit some people with a car last week. Maybe some of you who live in the area can explain some things. What is a "slug lane" ? The article makes it sound like the CSM is a taxi driver or something. Does anyone know if this is true?

...slug line...

IMO there is an overabundance of 'slugs' to be found lining the hallways and sidewalks of the DC area - guess they never heard of placing pans of beer around the plants to catch those slimy bastards.

Richard's $.02

Slug isn't very PC. Actually kind of judgmental. I prefer "snail without a shell."

"My Name is Earl" kind of Karma....McK is a slug, met him in DC as the SWTG CSM when we had the top supply guy in the Army recv'ing an award.
Felt like I was talking to a used car salesman...from a 3rd world country.
The guy (General) that selected him should have been shot too for being a stupid dupe.
Other than that no opinion.

Trevor P. explained it to me. Richard, if I had found that link, I probably would have thought it was some kind of joke. Keep on sluggin'.

If true, it was a long slow fall; some addiction issues perhaps? Not pretty, and not good PR for the service branch.

Mck got canned for sexual abuse.
He used his postion to seduce Army wives/soldiers etc.
The one that reported him, made the initial complaint, was 6 months pregnant when McK conned her into sex.
After she came fwd the dam broke and many female soldiers/wives reported his advances etc.
Same as SMA Wooldridge who was 'let go' as SMA for running a kickback scam in RVN for contractors...used his position for monetary gain but the Army did not press charges for PR reasons.

Slight correction....Wooldridge left the position of SMA and took MACV and was caught getting kickbacks...what is not said aloud is that he assigned all of the senior NCO's to RVN (club managers etc) as the SMA setting up his kickback scheme from the club system in country.
For you young guys we were in RVN a long time and there was an Officer/NCO club system like stateside on the larger US Divisional bases...lots of money spent, Fillipino bands, dancers, and drink til you passed out kind of deal.
He got a kickback from every band, club entertainment deal in country and made 100's of thousands of dollars while grunts were getting killed.
I met him at the SM Acad in the 80's and could not be civil with him or shake his hand...still can't.
He did some valourous stuff earlier but disgraced himself and his position.
McK did the same.

PRB,
IIRC there was a book written about the scam – Khaki Mafia by Robin Moore (in his pre Jack Idema days). It involved mostly Army NCO’s, (Club Custodians), and a few GO’s.

Being one of the most recent grads from taco tech, I can tell you that SMA(r) MCK still shows up and speaks regularly down there.
