    And this guy no doubt has his fans too. Soe here have postulated a career in talk radio. IDK or care, my point is, I'm glad he's gone. He violated rules, attention whored and now has been properly dealt with.

    The US Military Justice could not win. Nothing to do with them encensing the man.

    You can criticize the President. You just have to be sure it won't be recorded down, nobody important hears you, it's an off-duty setting, and you do it respectfully as possible. Gripe about the President like you would gripe about your boss, because that's what you're doing. There is a time and place for it.

    Facebook makes that hard, especially with Congressmen who say downright stupid things on a hilarious level and you have to share that youtube video. As a service member, I need to stay away from that.

    It was been mentioned that people think FB is difference. Sort of like there is some kind of privacy, or maybe it is me. I am always surprise of very personal discussions being held in a public venue. This even happens on the internet.

    It’s funny to read the comments from the left though. I well remember the deserters and refusniks during the Bush Presidency and how the left treated them as heroes for speaking out. How brave they were, how they were the true Heroes of the war. Now I see the same lefts Howls for execution for someone who speaks out against President Obama or refuses the same orders. The hypocrisy is delicious watching the left go into Spanish Inquisition mode.
    This Schmuck got what’s coming to him, plain and simple he is another SP/4 New-who was given many chances, refused now has to pay the piper. I doubt he will be a talk radio host, a guest likely as were the Watadas, the Chirouxs, the Kokeshs, of the left were.

    It is actually funny I only see people saying the guy should have known better, yet you seem bitter about *back then*. Do you have something to confess. I am really starting to fear that Hank was not THAT out of the line when he launched the R-word sometimes ago.

    You're right, LD. But since when are left wing idiots the arbiter of good order in the military? Just because Code Pink embraced some f*cktard, or some people think Bradley Manning is a frigging hero, doesn't mean this asshead gets to run his suck on the interwebs.

    Really think this has something to do with the president being Black-ish? every person mentioned is a retard, regardless of the color of the CINC.

    Never said he should be allowed to run his suck, hell they gave him every opportunity to back down. He didnt, they rightly slammed him. I just find it hysterical to see the left calling for this cats execution for his actions when they applauded similar actions when Bush was in office.

    I do, I frankly am witnessing every possible LD outburst encompass a punch to the incumbent POTUS. While I did not agreed with Hank when he did say that, and that I still regard Hank as just messing with LD, I cannot understand why in the world LD cannot for a moment focus on the matter at hand and link things that are not to be linked. If we have to work by compensation, well you better prepare for some hard future America.

    LD has always been a guy that I respect, not my side of the exchecker, but a wealth of knowledge and an overall good heart. He just cannot swallow Obama it seems.

    LD: I have decided nothing. I actually rarely mess with your struts, but you cannot pass an occasion to rant on your own President. Its worrisome.

    Every president causes discourse, it is just, for the first time he is black. That gives an easy out to claim anyone who disapproves of him and his policies is a racist. that is a desperate and pointless claim to make. Bush had 10x the negative feedback that LD is giving, but none of that can be racial because he was a cracker!

    Read again. I did not made that remark. I disapproved of it. Bush had 10x the negative feed back (?), he was not declared a muslim or was asked to provide his Birth certificate AFAIK. THAT alone is humiliating. But yes, maybe you are right, maybe I am seeing to much in the rants of LD.
