"This letter is an extraordinary departure from that time-honored tradition."

Where have you been? This letter IS a (now) time-honored tradition. Members of the Star club have been meddling with politics forever.

By the Way....the correct pronoun in the military is called your “Rank” before your last name!

Legally, they can comment, but it was once considered unbecoming for military leaders to inject their opinions into domestic politics.

So much has gone wrong in this country since 1988, I do not know where to begin. I am not faulting them for the letter, I am merely bemoaning the fact that it has come to this, that it has come to the point where they feel they have to speak up.

For the record I am an honorably discharged E-4. I thought about OCS, and a military career. I might have enjoyed it, but that was not the course I followed.

I think it’s cute how these ex-military brass think they have a say in the matter.

LOL!
Quote of the day!

Where were they when they could have done something about it?

At some point they were following orders, advancing their careers, and keeping mum. Those aren't the sort to rock the boat. But there are probably some who were never tasked with finding ways to accommodate the LGBTQ crowd on their way up the ladder. After 2008, the Obama was on the lookout to who would play along and who wouldn't. There's a fair chance some officers left before their conscience would've required them to speak out.

They could have quit after 20.

Now there’s an IRA-like retirement plan. Those with a conscience can leave-may not be much of a choice but those in charge may see what’s going on. But then they may appreciate the thinning of the officer corps as we’re left with the brown-losers.

They already do...it’s called New York Cjty.
