Well, personally I would say that he being a contractor he was not in a position to make such a commentary while under employment given the assumed specifics of his responsibilities. I don’t blame him but it was ill advised to do it while under contract. Now he has jeopardized his future with government contracts and private firms now know he will make public commentary without authorization. I hope he can work something out for his future.
Yep. There’s a strict social media policy that is signed to keep guys/girls from doing things like this while deployed on contracts. He knew it. Seen many get the “window or aisle” comment when terminated for this very thing.
