This is a story about what can happen when you try to protect taxpayer dollars and get too friendly with the natives. This story is proof that no matter how much we try to plan, our lives frequently take a different path. Sometimes, things simply spiral out of control. They say, “We plan and God laughs.”
Throughout his life, the lieutenant has battled rumors and innuendo. He wanted to provide through this website, the truth of what really occurred back in the day.
While lieutenant’s name is not mentioned on the website, readers can easily figure out his name from various photos and documents.
He said, “It really isn’t so much about what happened to me, but about what can happen to virtually anyone who speaks truth to power. Unfortunately, they just destroy you, and the system moves on. The taxpayers could care less about how the system retaliates against those blow the whistle.”
Some of the information provided was by people with intimate knowledge of events that shaped the lieutenant’s personal history. The website was originally created for family and close personal friends who never got the whole story about how the Navy retaliated against the lieutenant and his trusty chief petty officer.
People are routinely deceived by the news media and politicians when they claim an admiral or general was “RUINED.” When Lt. General Michael Flynn was set up for destruction, the news media’s talking heads and numerous politicians proclaimed that he had been ruined. He obviously got hurt, but he was far from being ruined.
He was a retired Lt. General bringing in anywhere between $12,000 to $15,000 per month in retirement pay along with all the perks and benefits pertaining to that retirement. This story is about how a person can really be ruined and serves as a warning to all those in the military as to how the system can be easily manipulated to achieve a conviction from a general court martial.
The lieutenant knows all too well, what ruination is all about.
