Marine general 'bullied' subordinates, 'devalued women,' Pentagon inspector general says.
A Department of Defense Inspector General report concluded that a Marine Corps general"disparaged, bullied, and humiliated subordinates, devalued women, and created a negative ... work environment that led to a general distrust of his impartiality and leadership."
Brig. Gen. Norman Cooling was serving as the Legislative Assistant to the Commandant of the Marine Corps when the Senate Armed Services Committee sent a complaint to then-Defense Secretary James Mattis about Cooling's conduct, leading to the DOD IG investigation which was initiated on March 15, 2018.
After reviewing the IG's draft report, Cooling acknowledged that he"fell short of maintaining a positive climate throughout the Office of Legislative Affairs " and accepted responsibility for that shortfall, but said the report did not provide"sufficient evidence by any legitimate legal standard to support a finding that I created a hostile work environment or that I made demeaning remarks about women," according to the IG.
"The Marine Corps expects every Marine, uniformed and civilian -- and particularly those in leadership positions -- to hold themselves to the highest standards in their personal and professional conduct. When Marines fall short of our standards they are held accountable," he said.
