Colin Powell is not “old school military.” Officers who were brought up in the “old school” understand the Constitution, and the obligation they take with their Oath. They understand that there was a reason that the Oath included the words “...all enemies, foreign and domestic.” They understand that the Oath is a pledge made for life, and it does not “expire when you retire.
They take that Oath seriously, and they would not break their Oath, in uniform our out.
Powell does not fit into that group.

I think that’s what got him fired.
Just sayin...
