Fired 2-star general in charge of nuclear arsenal spent week drunk with ‘two hot women’

This morning, the Inspector General of the Air Force released its report on the dismissal of Major General Michael J. Carey, who had been in charge of overseeing the United States arsenal of intercontinental missiles.
His firing caused concern in conservative circles that the Obama administration was creating a martial-law-ready military. At the time, the Air Force would only reveal what he hadnt been fired for, including sexual misconduct, adultery, or abusing illegal drugs.
Todays report indicates that his dismissal was predicated on his behavior during a trip to Russia in July of 2013 for a Military Cooperation Working Group Event. The United States and Russian Federation (RF) were to conduct exercises demonstrating their ability to safely transport nuclear warheads.
According to the report, instead of leading the U.S. delegation, Carey spent the majority of the exercise intoxicated. He drank both on the plane to Zurich and in the Zurich airport. The next day, he had drinks at the Marriott, then left to have drinks at the Ritz Carlton, where he met two foreign national women.

Is that code for a week-long cocaine binge? Isn't it typical for miscreants to admit to alcohol abuse when something illegal is actually being abused?
