The Fiscus Website

The website created by the Fiscus is pretty gud: http://www.thomasjfiscus.net.

The dude pretty much lays it all out there. Some good reading and it puts it in perspective. I think he takes advantage of perceived political conspiracy theories in order to blame his troubles on Dick Cheney, but besides that he presents a compelling case that the charges against him are not as bad as they seem. Of course he says he is guilty of nothing. I believe the truth is that there may have been some violations, but not bad enough for an Article 15 or a bust of two grades. That bust of two grades costs him thousands of dollars every month. The common enlisted soldier sitting at Fort Leavenworth may not appreciate this sacrifice, but that is a pretty damning punishment and disproportionate to the wrong doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.116.212.23 (talk) 22:03, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article reads as though Thomas Fiscus wrote it. Except for the first couple of sentences, it is pure poppycock.

The website cited as providing the "other side" of the Fiscus story contains pure, unadulterated nonsense. Additionally, contrary to the article's claim, the Fiscus matter did not come to light around the same time as Michael D. Murphy. The Murphy case came to light well after Fiscus retired under a cloud. Fiscus claiming that the Murphy case in some way prejudiced his own is rediculous. On the other hand, Murphy, currently scheduled for Court Martial, may well pay for Fiscus' sins. The senior officers who sit on the Murphy panel (or the judge alone) is quite likely to have had quite enough of AF Senior JAGs behaving poorly.

This former two star general had female subordinates sleeping with him and affectionately calling him such things as "homey." Enough said, he should have been court-martialed. His shameless website, cited in the article, is an indication that he remains ethically challenged.64.148.255.16 (talk) 04:50, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
