Opinion | Revoke my security clearance, too, Mr. President

Leading from the front and showing other what it looks like to have a spine.

SFC Chad Sowash - Not sure why you believe Brennan is entitled to keep a clearance given that he provides no value to our elected government.

SFC Chad Sowash - Why would you let a veteran keep a security clearance once they no longer have a job that requires it? And how do you figure a security clearance makes you more marketable? If your applying for a job with FedEx what marketability does your clearance have? Basically none, so unless your are applying for a job that requires a security clearance it is of no use to you and should be revoked; if you are applying for a job that does require one such as a GS civilian then your clearance just transfers from Military to GS Civilian.

Once a person leaves a post that does not require on then why allow them to keep it?

And what does him being a RETIRED JSOC Commander have to do with aligning with anyone; I really don't care who he is.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Well if they dug deep enough then there would be a lot of Military Brass and CIA and others that would probably lose theirs as they don't disclose all of their foreign contacts either.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - As I said, if you are applying for a job that does require one (the GS position was just an example of one); I agree with your examples of government contract companies. FedEx was just an example.

However as I said if your job does not require one then you should not have one; like me, I work for an oil company and have no need of my government security clearance anymore so I should not have one.
