If this is all there is to the story she fell on the wrong sword.
Instead of “disobeying” an order there are other avenues for her to pursue this, ones that are spelled out in regulation.
I have told my own disgruntled Soldiers it they don’t like what I am telling them, go to the IG and if that doesn’t work go to their congress critter. I even offered to proof read their complaints for them.
[Who are the streets being guarded from?]
The forces of evil that inhabit the bottom half of a spiritual world.
In the original version the term “portals” (a doorway, gate, or other entrance, especially a large and elaborate one) is used instead of “streets.”
I may have known your Dad.
Chaplain, I understand. I later had this thought: “Did the corporal have the source of the passage listed on her e-mail, thus identifying it from the Bible?” I will venture the comment that if she had NOT provided the source (Isaiah 54:17), would anyone have recognized it as being from the Bible?
Also, I had thought she was putting this on the bottom of all the e-mails she was sending out. In re-reading this story I realize I was wrong. I thus am no in agreement with you as to why should she have had to remove it from the edge of her computer screen, where she would be the main person seeing it.
3rd line should read:
They will find the streets abandoned
Decision America 2016
In this instance the NCO has won at lower court hearings. There is a piece of me that thinks we are missing some of the story. However, if we have all of the story, then this Marine having a quote at her work station is no different than someone else having a picture of their spouse on their desk. In my mind that would be unreasonable. However, I did read another version of this story that vaguely suggested the NCO saw that particular verse as confrontive and in his face. If there was bad blood between these two, then perhaps he did see it as insubordination. If he was able to demonstrate in court there had been strife with this Marine, then this also would explain her losing in court.
If the army and the navy
Ever gaze on bedroom scenes
They will find their wives are sleeping
With United States Marines.
Outstanding!
