Anyone looking for a very well paying job in DOD, where you are leading large groups of like minded individuals, who will do your every whim, down to how long their hair can be, or what color your reflective belt should be based upon your position in the company? If you think you have what it takes to be in this position, go see your local recruiter. There are at least (or will be at least) four senior positions running the gambit of the Armed Forces. Degree(s) required, must be able to put up and dish out massive amounts of BS (to include congressional BS), four years experience in looking like you're paying attention in meetings, and at least two divorces are appreciated.

Yeesh, sir. That's harsh. :P
I think we (military) are one of the most congealed areas in this society. Sure, we give each other sh*t more so than other areas, but when it comes down to it, we're all brothers/sisters. Are there outliers? Definitely. But, for the most part, we tend to be color-blind.

I see nothing in the statements that contradict what the CINC announced. The few that feel differently are few in number. Their groups would atrophy and die if they were ignored by the public and MSM. Anarchists and haters of all stripes are a blight on our country.

No one likes that view. They want to draw attention so people click, watch, and read the 'news'. The majority of us go on with our lives everyday treating each other with dignity and respect.
These guys are in the vast, vast minority.

Master Chief, I do not feel they were directly disrespectful at all. What I DO feel this is where the military took a stance on something that at the moment "is" politically charged while still on AD. McCrystal didn't like Obama (among many other GO's), but his staff talked bad about him publicly and he paid the price, even though he himself never sad it. For them to actually stand on their own, unprompted, and unscripted IS a big deal to the military as a whole. Also look at the CG Commandant when he came out saying he wouldn't put transgenders out. The military's apolitical stance is being tested more and more. While this would seem benign, when was the last time you saw a unified front from active service service chiefs to anything that wasn't a direct military action? You don't have to call the foolish commander a fool to his face for the unit to know the leader is a fool.

Never mentioned any of them being disrespectful, quite the opposite. When I read their statements, they were consistent with President Trump's original statement regarding racism and extremism. The USCG Commandant didn't do anything disrespectful, he did what most good leaders do and maintain morale. But, you know, if someone has a thin skin, bad things can happen. The last eight years have been especially tough on top military leadership.
