The Army stripped a star from a general who flirted on social media with the wife of an enlisted man, finding his actions "dissolute and immoral" and forced him to retire, the Army announced Friday. Brig. Gen. Joseph Harrington lost one rank after the Army determined that he had engaged in inappropriate online communication with the woman in more than 1,000 messages. Harrington had been in charge of U.S. Army Africa from a base in Italy when the relationship, first reported by USA TODAY, became known in August.
