Heck, I had to serve under Carter.
Those were dark days my friend.
I can not imagine how dark it is now.
I came of draft age under Nixon...
You too? We all hated the ba- rstool. Yes, that’s it, “barstool”. Not the other b-word...
I served under Carter as well. I would be shocked to the core, even in that day, to find out there were scumbags like these people serving with me.
If exposed, I would have fully expected them to get brig, dishonorable discharge, or worse.
If one gives people serving carte blanche to tell everyone whatever they have sworn to hold secret, and it is okay to do that if “you think it is the right thing”, then there is no possibility of keeping anything from our enemies.
Ever.
I think the people who are all for “freedom of speech” no matter what post is held or what information is being protected should tell us how to deal with the archaic concept of security.
What, the archaic concept of “security” is outdated? Tell that to the military personnel who WILL sacrifice their lives to this crap.
This just pisses me off.
