General’s ‘Lavish Spending’ Included Bermuda Stop
The U.S. general who headed U.S. Africa Command used military vehicles to shuttle his wife shopping and to spas, and billed the government for a $10,000 stop overnight in Bermuda, the Washington Post reports.
General William Ward – who is facing possible demotion for his activities — defended the Bermuda layover as a “crew stop” and blamed his staff for making the decision to stay there rather than flying on to Germany.
The Washington Post reports that the cost of rooms in Bermuda for Gen. Ward and his staff came to more than $10,000, not including meals, transportation or other costs.
The Bermuda stop-over is one of many allegation of overspending against Gen. Ward. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is expected to make a decision on his fate before the end of the month. He is presently a four-star general, the highest rank in the U.S. Army.

Bermuda: So Much More!
He must have been staying in the EWART J. Brown suit at the hotel – picked up his tendencies after only one night – fast learner! ; )
Another one – thinking because there is a black President = he would get away with it. or perhaps he had a lapse and thought he was the President….
Did Bermuda benefit ?
Yeah, from the even bad news is good school of advertising!
He could be a Pee EL Pee athboy……fit in well here with these lot.
Fit in well?! No way! He would replace Gonzalves up the regiment, triple our debt with a “war on terro…I mean ferral chickens” with a budget of world conquest proportions. Operation shock and awe on the ferral chickens, I bet he would rain mercyless hell. Their motto is “if in doubt, blow it up”, I can see it now, they would “have him pinned down”, flanking their position from all sides, already taken down seal team 10, tactical retreat, precision air strike on spital pond parking lot, the rest is just collateral damage. Next they pass laws to take you liberty and invade your privacy, just to make sure we aren’t “harboring and refugee chickens”. After that all that’s left to do is sing “hosea can you see” at the celebration of the 53rd state.
The fact that the hotel rooms were expensive is not his fault.
Plenty of American military would make crew stops here on the island years ago.
Make me the Field Marshall in charge of Tourism and i will get tourists here in droves
are we part of africa command now? i saw some chickens digging a deep bunker today
