The commander of the Fort Benning, Ga., Army base has disciplined 11 Army officers for letting life agents give what he says were improper classroom sales presentations in early 2004.[@@]
Brigadier Gen. Benjamin Freakley, the base commander, also is starting a consumer awareness program for the soldiers on the base and temporarily banning 3 life insurance companies from the base, according to a report in The New York Times.
The Times triggered a firestorm of controversy about financial services sales to military personnel when it ran a series of articles about the topic in the summer of 2004.
