A top Green Beret in the US Army was forced to resign in 2012 after it was discovered he was carrying on a year-long affair with a woman whom he had unofficially embedded in his Afghanistan unit.
Major Jim Gant, had on military orders “went native,” with his troops in the mountains of Afghanistan but authorities didn't know that his lover, Ann Scott Tyson, had quit her job and left her family to live with him.
He was soon reprimanded and relieved of his duties for “immoral and illegal activities and actions,” with his fellow officers and subordinates testifying that he was often “intoxicated and under the influence of pain medications.”
