I know it sucks but after watching so much of this stuff, if you are on active duty stay off social media. If you do get on posting pictures of you dog or kid is OK as long as the dog or kid aren’t peeing on the picture of a superior or President. You have a “Doppler ganger” on the web. What have you posted that future employer might find embarrassing? What are inconsistencies that demonstrate mental instability, ie joining weight watchers then ordering pizza at 1am”. Just because the guy is a two star doesn’t make him immune, you aren’t either.

I feel it should be illegal to pry into, and/or use, a person's comments on social media. From my perspective, it's a violation of privacy. But.....it's already been to court, (several years ago), and the judge decided there's nothing wrong with it. So it's going to remain legal to do this to a person until someone with the money to fight it comes along.

I would agree if it was a person's own account, but it appears in this case, the account he was (mis)using was his 'official Army' account

If you're on a " Social Media site, whatever you say while on it is PUBLIC Knowledge.
If you're in the Armed Forces/ Politics/ a Public trust position- teacher/ school boards/... you will be noticed and held to a higher standard of accountability.
The temptation is there to post like any other civilian, but don't forget , what goes on the internet goes world wide. And is fodder for some one to keel haul you later.

If it's on a site that is public, then what right to privacy does the blogger expect?
If you text on a site that is public, the military personnel that post must maintain a military bearing. That is , to maintain a standard higher than that of a civilian. The Soldier is held to a higher standard because he / she ze ... are iin a profession that holds public confidence and is of higher visibility. With the uniform, comes a responsibility higher than that of the average civilian profession.

If the person did not want their opinion known, they should keep it under wraps. To broadcast an opinion on a Public media is to make your position known to the general public.
If you did not want it to be general information known to the public, keep the comment neutral.

Run roh, Raggy. Somebody done gone and really stepped in it. I hope he wasn't overly smug or smarmy to a liberal reporter because that's not a way to get a gig on MSNBC. sarcasm off.
Really, when I first read about him, I was all for letting him retire. Then I checked myself. It's good that he's had his retirement process stopped and being investigated. If he did something wrong while in that position, he needs to be held accountable. Plus, like others have said, there has to be alot more to the story.
