I wasn’t an officer nor in aviation but Dempsey’s call to a civilian was extraordinarily inappropriate if true.
“...but Dempsey’s call to a civilian was extraordinarily inappropriate if true.”
The understatement of the year!
It was a blatant violation of his oath to the Constitution, if (as if!) he did this on his own. And he compounded it by not resigning in refusal to do this when ordered/directed.
Dempsey can call me if he wants to discuss it. I’d just love to hear his side of the story.
