I’m sorry. Do you work for the Army? Obviously not. Our bases are full of civilians, all of which answer to the base commander or the pentagon. Therefore, although not enlisted or in the officer corps, they still work for the Army just as I work for the Army as a soldier. In almost every MOS, civilians work side-by-side with us whether it is in a training position or as a fill in due to a shortage (civilian cooks and enlisted cooks work doing the same thing; civilian equipment operators and enlisted equipment operators doing the same base improvements; enlisted military police and DOA police doing the same jobs; civilian firefighters and army firefighters; civilian doctors and military officer doctors; the list goes on forever).
And they still aren’t going to get any good publicity out of a civilian police officer doing her duty. The only spinning the army is going to be doing is trying to explain how a terrorist with a hate website and the wrong loyalties wasn’t drop kicked out a long time ago. If Officer Munley hadn’t been willing to stand her ground and risk her life, who knows how many more people that selfish monster would have killed. You should be thanking her for protecting your fellow soldiers, not trying to tear her down.
