If he wasn’t already on some RIF list, he upheld the traditions as far as I’m concerned.

Semper Fi.

From what I remember of it, I thought he was respectful, dutiful and pointed out valid grievances. Airing it on social media is the issue, and he knew it.

As a side, I doubt he gets the same treatment form the press that the covid boat captain got.

Good for him…And I’m sure he knew there’d be blow back…But 17 years down the crapper…thats a tough one… He’ll have no trouble makng some bucks if he gets the boot. He’ll make the CEC circuit and be a Fox analyst in no time.

He already has. He was relieved for cause.

And that’s why you’re more wrong than you will ever know. You’re asking the wrong question.

Just read the article…he said no interviews. But the media did try…So I wasn’t totally off the mark.

I believe he addressed that in the video and the reasons (my interpretation) are based on the ideal below:

“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”

John Stuart Mill who delivered an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St. Andrews
