Really? I think you misunderstand my statement.
I am in no way supporting his voicing his disagreement as a subordinate to the world. Not sure how you got that.
Did my statement not say EXACTLY “Doesn’t mean you don’t speak your mind to your boss”?
That means exactly what it says. You speak your mind to the boss. It DOES NOT mean you go outside your chain of command.
As a subordinate, my whole life, both in and out of the military, is that I speak my mind and render my honest opinions to those above me, and experience has shown me that any boss worth his salt values that.
I thought I was wholly clear that I lost ALL respect for Mattis when he did that.
And I would have had a whole lot less respect for him if he DID NOT speak his honest mind directly to his boss, which was Trump.
I do not believe you understood my post, and I don’t think my post was unclear.
“Doesn’t mean you don’t speak your mind to your boss”?
You’re pretending that was what this was about.
That’s disgusting
