What is worse in my book is that Stanley is busy selling this ROE crap to a CBS reporter in the middle of the theatre OPNS Center! I cannot take him out of this whole mess because he is the salesman knowingly trying to sell the POS lemon YUGO to the media while the men he is responsible for are being picked off like ducks in a shooting gallery!
I could care less about some other officers wishing Stanley was no so public about his statements because they are typical of the same kind of thinking. Don’t say anything because the Post Turtle might get mad? As we used to say; “With all DUE respect, Sir!” Anyone who was ever an NCO knows exactly what this inferred to an officer. The officers knew exactly what it meant as well especially since he could do nothing about the remark.
As I said before, with Stanley defending this kind of Bull, he is aiding and abedding anything that comes of the rediculous ROE he personally defended on camera. It is obvious to me is cares more for his little chrome stars than he does for the men he is commanding. It is for him to defend his statements, not mine to accept whatever drivel may come out of anyone in this administration.
He is well on his way of making Westmoreland look like Patton if this crap continues. Again, the ball is in his court and he doesn’t have “weeks” to return the volley.
Thank you for those great comments!
