    Funny thing about the military and change... (none / 0) (#3)
    by jgillmanjr on Mon Dec 20, 2010 at 09:08:35 AM EST
    Being the public affairs officer for CMU ROTC last year, as well as being in the military for roughly 4.5 years in general, one thing that is put out to soldiers who may encounter the media is that you can talk about the training and whatnot, but don't comment on matters of public policy.

    My editor at CM-Life wanted me to do a column when this whole DADT thing was brewing, and I told him I couldn't because of that rule.

    Fine. Civilian control of the military. Check. Don't make statements that may be construed as being representative of the army. Got it. Great.

    However...

    A theater commander comments on DADT, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs rides his ass about commenting (as well as the SECDEF).

    Yet you have Mullens shooting his trap, saying that those who don't agree with the repeal should find other work.

    Yeah.
