Thanks for the ping. I think this Colonel was probably acting on orders from someone above him in his chain of command.
You’re probably right. And how to we get that !##%$ idiot fired? I know, no way to make that happen. Perhaps someone inside the command will be offended enough to quietly leak it. However, the commander is responsible for all that happens in his command, thus we need to focus on whomever commands Bethesda Naval/Walter Reed Medical Center.
