Seems like a weird hill to ruin your career over. What J.D. Vance said in Greenland is not that controversial and is arguably true.

I served almost 25 years in the Air Force under several presidents I did not like (beginning with Jimmy Carter). And several of those presidents promulgated policies I disagreed with. But not once did I think to go public with my disdain for the commander-in-chief or publicly oppose a policy I disagreed with. We were taught to keep such things within the family and then do what we were told. This woman could have quietly informed the Danes, etc., of her thoughts but she decided to send out an all-hands email. How the hell did she make 0-6?
ReplyDeleteShe had to know this would result in her immediate firing. What a way to end your career. She should not have informed the Danes of anything in disagreeing with the President's policy. I can understand if she quietly said her senior staff she disagreed, but it was still their jobs to do their respective jobs. And what J.D. Vance said was hardly all that controversial.
DeleteThank you, BTW, for your AF service.
