For me the Dawn Johnson nomination, where the WH left her twisting in the wind for 14 months speaks volumes about POTUS. And they are not good volumes.

The original EW post w/ the gov’t gobblydegook is an Alice in Wonderland explanation.
Wow! Once the info is in the public domain, to not let defense attys use it can only be comprehensible to Lewis Carroll and John Yoo.

And yet, (I repeat for emphasis) AND YET our media obsesses over the marriage of a member of the royal family of a has-been empire.

Globalization – jobs follow it. Who gets the credit for the unintended consequences?
I give it to Bill Clinton.

Chief commented on the blog post Former Army Intelligence Analyst: “Army security is like a Band-Aid on a sunken chest wound”
I am curious about your ref to Art 15 NJP. When I was doing it (1958 – 79) the Commanding Officer (O-5 or above) could reduce any E-6 or below in rank at a Captains Mast (NJP). And beyond that, up until about 1967 an E-7 could also be reduced in rank during their first year as a Chief.
Are all specialist promotions temporary?

Back to Army security. I did spend 21 years in the U.S. Navy. I have some (limited) understanding of classified info. What I have extreme difficulty understanding is the amount of extremely sensitive data to which an E-3 would have access. E-3 in any branch are not specialists. At best they are “specialists-in-training” and normally they are floor sweepers or carry a rifle.
And to share this secret, sensitive data with contractors and foreign gov’ts? Stupid in the extreme.

Chief commented on the blog post The Walking Wounded The NFL Treats Like Disposable Trash
I do not remember the year exactly, but it was around 1998 – 2000. The retired/ex-NFL players had sued for care for players from some earlier era.
It was the spokesman on TV that shocked me. It was Walt Sweeney. The reason I remembered him was that I played high school football against him and his team, Cohasset HS from Cohasset, MA. He was an All-America at Syracuse Univ and then played for the San Diego Chargers. He was probably sixty at the time and he looked like the shell of a man who was ninety years old.
Insanely profitable, shoot-em-up-with-drugs so they will not feel the pain and discard ‘em when someone better comes along, I refuse to support the NFL in any way.
