Gee whiz. The Army picks sig for a giant contract and a General gets a big time job upon retirement. Imagine that……
My wife’s grandfather retired as an O-10 from the USAF and was immediately hired by a defense contractor to sit on their board of directors. Of course Congress looked at it. And it was completely legal.
I served directly under him, when he was a 1 star, at CFSOC-A, in 2010-11. He is a great leader!
Always enjoy comments, on & off topic. Mine is ‘rank has privileges ‘…his carry piece is a dust collector. Just sayin’
I am generally all in with Sig Sauer, but this hire is not a good look.
It should come as no surprise that Sig is part of the military industrial complex, This announcement has a lot more to do with pursuing military contracts than it does with sport shooting.
