On the job less than a year.

Sounds like he was a scapegoat.

Haven't spoken with him in 20 years.

Good guy at the time, have a hard time believing he changed.

First general officer of Korean descent.

It does sound like he is being scapegoated, part of the backlash from the VA scandals.

I have no idea about your buddy, but the idea of holding flag/general officers accountable really appeals to me. The military is pretty quick to hold the junior ranks to standards.

Scapegoat or not, retired generals do very well.
