High-ranking generals over the past few years have suffered embarrassing scandal after embarrassing scandal, ranging anywhere from affairs to mishandling government funds, and now in response, the Army is developing mental health and counseling programs to try and dial this kind of behavior back, the Associated Press reports. Army Lt. Gen. Ed Cardon, the officer responsible for devising programs to help keep generals on the straight and narrow, told the Associated Press that character is needed alongside competence. In one case, the Army demoted Wayne W. Grigsby Jr. from major general to brigadier general in September 2016 after investigators found he had texted a female captain no less than 850 times.
