“Seven retired admirals and generals hired by the military as consultants will end their advisory roles rather than comply with new regulations requiring them to divulge outside income to avoid a conflict of interest.
The former officers are among 158 Pentagon retirees known as "senior mentors" who have been identified in USA TODAY stories as getting as much as $440 an hour to offer advice on war plans and weapons systems.
A USA TODAY investigation found that 80% of the mentors had financial ties to defense contractors that they were not required to reveal to the public.”
