Top Army Assistant Fired For Spending Big Money At Strip Clubs Using Company Card

department-of-defense

Maj. Gen. Ronald F. Lewis faced some heat last November after it was found out that he’s been a big spender at strip clubs across the globe. Lewis was Defense Secretary Ashton Carter’s former top military assistant. Key word: was. He’s been relieved of those duties. He’s still in the Army, though.

The report was released last Thursday and it detailed his insane spending at the clubs.

From Task And Purpose:

According to the report, during a visit to Seoul last April, Lewis charged $1,121.25 at the Candy Bar club, in an area known locally as “Hooker Hill” because of prostitution, drugs and underage drinking. The bar was off-limits to U.S. military personnel.

Lewis did try to hide that, claiming he never was there and called the bank to get the charges removed, which they did. Slick move, really. Deny deny deny until someone finally shoves some hard evidence in your face that you were, in fact, there. Unfortunately for Lewis, investigators found hard evidence.

He also had himself quite the time on a trip to Rome with Carter and other Pentagon staff.

Investigators say Lewis used a government-issued credit card at the Cica Cica Boom club, which advertises “Sexy Show,” “Fans Club” and “Lap Dance.”

Lewis told investigators that he danced and drank with local women for three hours and tried to pay the $1,755.98 bill with his personal debit card, but it wasn’t accepted.

Lewis is a married man and a father of two, so my guess is that he never intended to use his personal card to pay for it. Don’t want the wife to find out what’s really happening on those business trips. Still, $1800 for three hours? And you only claim to have been drinking? Something’s off here. My instincts are telling me that part of that bill included a trip to the VIP room and some hands-on play.

Lewis, you dog. Gotta think that using the government’s money towards strip club bills is still a better use of funds than some welfare programs, right?

      Fuck you and your misinformation. Lying isn’t frat. Making shit up about a life-long public servant (who happens to be a devout Methodist grandmother) isn’t frat.

      Mother fucker was stealing taxpayer dollars (that your daddy paid to the government), so he could get a boner and go home drunk/sexually frustrated. Stealing isn’t frat.

      Sucking Donald’s dick… that must be one of those special interest frats that you’re a part of… deplorable is the correct word.

        If she’s a devout Methodist Grandmother, then I’m a northern black woman. Clinton is a monster that deserves to be in a jail cell than in the White House.

        Dumbass. You use personal money to pay off the govt credit card, not taxpayer funds. Only reason mil personnel are required to have the card is to track expenses. The govt doesn’t pay any of these charges.

        It’s a travel card and it’s paid off with this thing called a “travel voucher” dumbass. You don’t simply pay it off with your personal cash. Every single purchase is tracked and it’s kept in the G8’s records.

        I’ll give this kid one good point, under the Clinton administration no man left the Oval Office sexually frustrated. Please sodmize a blender and kindly kill yourself

        is her being a devout methodist grandmother supposed to speak to her ability to run a nation? or is it just irrelevant information that youre spewing out?

    Had this been enlisted personnel, they would be reduced in rank and tossed behind bars. I’ve seen it. This fucking guy’s position brings this much attention to what he did and he will undoubtedly retire with full benefits. Gotta love the military double standards.

    To all of you who have never served in the United States military, don’t comment. You know nothing about military double standards, I’ve served and see how enlisted personnel have their entire lives ruined over much lesser offenses.
