| Description | Military nominee pulls out
Honolulu Advertiser
The president's pick to lead the U.S. Pacific Command, Air Force Gen. Gregory "Speedy" Martin, asked yesterday that his name be withdrawn after being fiercely questioned about his role in a tainted Boeing Co. contract.
The Pentagon made the announcement in a two-sentence news release last night.
The nomination of Martin, head of the Air Force Material Command, broke with the tradition of naming Navy admirals to lead the Pacific Command, which is based at O'ahu's Camp Smith and covers half the globe. The Pacific Command is in charge of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops in a region extending from the U.S. West Coast to the eastern coast of Africa and including 43 nations. |
