WASHINGTON — An Air Force general who oversaw some of the nation’s nuclear weapons was dismissed for drunken antics during an official trip to Moscow last summer, according to a new investigative report.

Maj. Gen. Michael J. Carey, who was removed this year as commander of the 20th Air Force, which maintains and operates the nation’s intercontinental ballistic missiles, is accused of drinking heavily, insulting his guests and other behavior “unbecoming of an officer and gentleman” during a four-day visit to Moscow in July, according to the inquiry. It was first reported by The Associated Press and The Washington Post.

After drinking for hours in bars, with people including someone identified in the report as “cigar shop lady,” General Carey was slurring his speech and stumbling through Red Square, “pouting and sulking.” The report said he tried to force a bar band to let him play with them.

The inquiry comes at a time when a large number of senior military officers have been investigated, penalized or fired over sexual improprieties, sexual violence, financial mismanagement or poor judgment.
