So top Navy brass was partying down with booze and broads at Leonard's expense? <br />Is this a common, long existent practice or some recent bit of corruption?

Fat Leonard essentially ran a logistics business, one that among other things, takes care of our ships in various ports across Asia. His company has sole support duties in certain ports, other companies have sole support duties in other ports. So, his game was to impact 1) the decisions on where ships would go, so payoffs to the folks in Fleet scheduling was required and 2) the experience of the ships that went to his ports, so that on the way BACK and in the future, they would request to go BACK to those ports where he had exclusive support contracts. Lavish parties, hookers, gifts, etc., were the stock in trade of this influence campaign. How's that for an explanation?<br /> The Conservative Wahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818674434286683162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-36326046925307432512015-02-14T11:38:40.069-05:002015-02-14T11:38:40.069-05:00Please explain this "Fat Leonard" thing ...Please explain this "Fat Leonard" thing in detail.
