its not like she hid out in Canada, or blasted Bush or blasted the Navy.....
I'll give her credit for being upfront about it all...
and it sounds like the Navy is losing one good officier....
You know, you don’t join the military if your goal in life is to have an opinion.
Are you kidding? It’s honorable to say that she was not trained for that position? The Navy trained her for years. Of course they could’ve trained her for the job handling money. And then she’s not the best option because she’s Jewish and Oriental? She has no faith in her country, her Navy or herself.
Sometimes..it isn't all about YOU!
The prospect of such conditions is horrific to contemplate because you would have complete chaos and would be easily defeated by any dedicated, committed enemy.
She had a duty to obey, particularly if she made her reservations known and was ordered to go ahead. She failed in that duty.
God bless all those soldiers, from buck priavtes up to Generals who stormed ashore in places like Normandy, Tarawa, Okinawa, etc. I am sure they did not like it. They knew there was a good prospect of them getting killed.
But they put their duty, the liberty and security of their nation above their own self interest and their very life, and we are all well served because of it and hallow their service and names.
This officer is clearly not of that mettle. She is not a good officer at all in that sense or by that measure. The service is well served and best off with her drummed out.
You and I paid her tuition to Stanford University in return for her “honorable” service. I want my money back.
Wouldn’t it be great if every service member refused to do their duty because they did not “feel” they should do it. Then EVERYBODY would be so “upfront” and “honorable.”
