In reply to the discussion: So, now this asshole is saying that he wishes that he could take it all back?!? [View all]MrScorpio
(73,631 posts)21. I regard this fool as an aberration...
And I applaud The Corps for dealing with it.
The military has a stake at staying apolitical, even when controversial CiCs are at the helm.
The most important thing for the brass, whether they be for the right or the left personally, is to maintain the professionalism and the honor of military service.
They do that by upholding the military's subordination to civilian authority.
Again, troops are pretty much expected to bitch, it's a time honored tradition. But if ever that bitching goes over the line to threaten the good order and discipline of the service, and as long it's a non-partisan profession, the military will deal with the malcontents thusly.
With this latest result, I'm not worried.
