Assignments kept Army suspects out of Korean War
Senate investigators reported that Sgt. Maj. William C. Wooldridge avoided service in Korea through a series of assignments that placed five close associates in charge of enlisted clubs in Vietnam between 1965 and 1968. The men, some previously fired for mishandling funds, managed clubs across Augsburg, Munich, Ft. Benning, and Vietnam, with allegations of skimming and lavish profits connected to a corporate shell. Several generals were accused of blocking probes, while Wooldridge's Korea exemption was noted alongside his World War II service.
