My guess is that LTC Meyers has already been passed over for Colonel several times and has been farmed out to the ACSC (on an AF, not Army base) to stay of out of the line of sight of the Army. That being said, he has probably destroyed what is left of his career with this editorial—it may be true, but it is borderline unprofessional for a military officer.
Sometimes you have to decide which hill you want to die on. The gentleman has decided this is his battle to win or lose and had taken the first step. Can’t fault him for that.
