Interesting but timely information from the CJCS.
The highest-ranking U.S. military officer has written an unusual open letter to all those in uniform, warning them to stay out of politics as the United States approaches a presidential election....Sounds like he got a lot questions/comments on the road. Nothing real new here but a restatement of the obvious.
"I am not suggesting that military professionals abandon all personal opinions about modern social or political issues," Mullen wrote. "What I am suggesting - indeed, what the nation expects - is that military personnel will, in the execution of the mission assigned to them, put aside their partisan leanings. Political opinions have no place in cockpit or camp or conference room."That being said, with the "Revolting Generals" and the broad politicization of the war, no shock he might be seeing and hearing more than he is comfortable with.
I think part of the trend is the active duty push back. This generation does not want to passively sit by and watch what happened to the Vietnam War generation happen to them. That is part of it, and I don't see anything in his JFQ article that will stop the push back, and that is good. Just a reminder to keep the Obama and McCain videos out of the Morning Brief.
These ships were products of a revolutionary leap.
As explained here.
Greyhawk, the link you mention below is broken--it says "Critical Error".
Which might be an editorial comment.
This kind of reminds me of that game people play in the Pentagon where everybody guesses which flag officer is going where and who's going to fill that fantasy baseball roster of officers. Anyway, it figures that after Lex hangs up his old flight suit ol' Phibian misses out on that parking space. I think he at least gets the Navy senior officer present afloat, SOPA MILBLOG status. Except that CDR Salamander stays anonymous, so we don't really know if he is entitled to SOPA. (Another question: Who's COB MILBLOG? The Doc In The Box? He's a bit junior to be browbeating the goat locker, eh?)
Lex'll probably keep parking in that spot anyway. You know those retirees...
