For example, I remember a new commander asking a very senior leader how he can share “his faith” with his troops if they came to him for help because his faith was “important to him.” The very senior leader basically said it’s ok for your faith to be important to you, but it doesn’t belong in the office because you run the risk of alienating people who have a different faith. Faith guy seemed offended (as they frequently and easily are) but I was thrilled that the senior leader was so reasonable and matter of fact.
Once saw a new Lt Col hang a Gadsden Flag on his base house. Ridiculous. It didn’t last long, I suspect the professional and apolitical highest ranking officer on base told him to take it down.
By the end of our time there, I learned that the new highest ranking person on base was an evangelical trumper and sharing this with the local business leaders . Huge foul. Wildly unprofessional. Won the hearts of the local community that was evangelical trump country, but outrageously unprofessional.
And that was just his first term. It’s gotten so much worse.
Why would the colonel take down a Gadsden flag? It is a historically proper flag flown proudly throughout the US representing pushback to British tyranny.
So glad this era of liberal censorship has ended. May Biden’s silencing never again occur.
How is it historically proper? Is a confederate flag also historically proper?
You are seriously questioning how a flag that celebrates our revolution against Britain is proper?! I have no idea how to respond to such idiocy. Do you not understand that this flag is flown all over the country? That it is a flag of the marines and navy?
