Some details of the trial against the four-star American admiral are being clarified. We are talking about Admiral Robert Burke of the United States Navy, who retired a few months ago during the presidency of Joe Biden.
The investigation claims that the admiral is being investigated for corruption.
From the investigation materials:
It turns out that we are talking about the company Next Jump, which provides special training programs.
The story itself began in 2017 (this is Trump's first term), when the US Navy ships Fitzgerald and USS McCain collided in the Pacific Ocean. Then, during the investigation, the sailors stated that technical problems had long arisen on the ships, but "the personnel were deprived of the opportunity to report real problems to the high command of the US Navy." That is, in the end, everything was presented as "no problem" and an accident. Then there was another incident with a US Navy warship.
A couple of years after the incident, another high-ranking commander of the US Navy, Admiral Phil Davidson, was forced to answer the question of whether sailors had the right to reject orders from a higher command if their ships were not technically ready. Then Davidson sharply stated that if someone refuses to comply with the order, then there will be someone who will do it.
As a result, thanks to Burke, Next Jump received contracts to eliminate the "deformation" in matters of personnel interaction with the high command. The company's managers said that more than 20 American admirals and over 100 lower-ranking commanders had been trained at the US Naval War College during this time. Also, about 1 thousand ordinary military sailors passed through the company's programs.
The company's management said that junior officers complained to them that often the orders given by the command "initially did not correspond to the capabilities of the ships and personnel." It is noteworthy that the admirals gave "strange" orders during the preparation process in the specified company.
During the interrogation of one of the managers:
As a result, the junior commanders were advised to identify such problems to the admirals not one by one, but, for example, two by two, so that the command "realized that this is not the opinion of one person."
Against the background of the scandal, another situation has surfaced in the United States: high-ranking American commanders lobby for the interests of a certain company during their service, and then, upon retirement, they receive a position in the management of this company with an impressive salary.
As a result, the major trial continues, but whether it will lead to any real changes in the United States is still a big question.
