Brig. Gen. Sinclair to take command of French foreign Legion

Filed · 1542

FAYETTEVILLE — Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair is reportedly in talks with the French government to become the commanding officer of the French Foreign Legion, Duffel Blog has learned.

"General Sinclair is leaving the U.S. Army in disgrace,” Military analyst Reggie Hardy told reporters, noting his recent conviction in a sexual harassment case that resulted in a $20,000 fine and discharge. “He is verbally abusive, has a history of sexual harassment, and doesn’t speak a word of French, so he would be a perfect fit."

Brig. Gen. Sinclair, who has already changed his first name to “Apollinaire-Luc,” is excited for his future in France.
