I'm glad he said what needed to be said. Although doing it in uniform would bring about consequences, I hope he considered that and chose to do what he did anyway instead out of ignorance. Saying what you want to say when you're not sitting in your office and in your uniform, that's going to come with restrictions. You can't blame the military for not liking that, no matter what's said. Doing it outside the confines for the base, in your street clothes and not linking it to your military occupation is a whole different thing altogether.
Good for him for standing up for what he thought was right.

SSG Carlos Madden So much for expressing one's opinion and free speech.

He was free to express his opinion, he just can't say what he said while also representing the armed forces in uniform. That's day zero DoD policy knowledge.

I will always feel he made a bad decision. A fired BN Commander will always have less pull and ability to effect change than a retired LTC. He was three years from waking up on the 1st of every month and bringing in $5K just for waking up and now he has none of that. What change happened from his actions? No change I can see from his sacrifice. None.
