I read this and listened to the former Drill Sergeant, and have to wonder, what others thought about this. If you have sensitive ears, Beware...adult language. I have seen this in the past, and actually, still see it today, but thank god I am no longer Active duty like this young man. http://popularmilitary.com/drill-sergeant-goes-viral-rant-saying-army-full-fat-fck-leaders

Really why are we even talking about this. If people can handle the truth that is their own fault. People hide behind the phrase feelings way to much in the military and life. Time to grow up and stop blaming others for things you have control over
Your fat your fat if you don't like it do something about it. You can't pass a PT test guess what you failure pass next time or get out of the military and make room for someone who can
I think this DS is spot on

The way I understand it he is a former Soldier. As to being appropriate or not I think he was foolish and unprofessional. But that's just me

SGM, I agree, but unfortunately, that wasn't the original question posed. Admin, changed the question.

Simply put, he's no longer an Army NCO (Just like I'm no longer an Active NCO in the Marines) and he is free to speak his mind any way he wants.
So to the titled question: "Is it appropriate for an Amy NCO to post a vulgar video rank about bad leaders?"
That isn't the case. This is a VETERAN. Nominally a "Free Citizen" speaking their mind. He can say almost whatever he wants. There are threads of truth in his rant, which will get lost because he lacks the fundamental Leadership Principle of Tact.
How you say something is just important as what you say.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, unfortunately, this was not the title of the question I asked. Some how it was changed and I am trying to find out how and why.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS
SSG Keith Cashion - The Admins occasionally have to change titles to make them more clear or fit posting requirements.
My ending statement still holds though. How you say something is just as important as what you say. The message can get lost in the static otherwise.
