You are right, he has knuckled under too many times now for me to think it will be any different in the future. We were duped into thinking we really had someone who would make significant changes. Now I believe no one can do it.
When civil war comes, these “judges” will be toast. Count on it.
Why should any employer have any obligation to either pay for this mutilation or give people time off work to follow their depraved fantasies? You are in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines to DO YOUR JOB protecting America - not to audition for the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
