Because if there’s one thing America needs its a Military union to enforce union law. /s

Another commie bites the dust. Good.

On this subject I always asked “who ever heard of the union army?” Nobody got my point.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I was in the Army in the 70’s and served in Vietnam in 69 and 70 and for the life of me, I can’t remember anything about this guy or his unionization movement.

reject what they viewed as illegal orders

My understanding is that soldiers at present not only have such a right, they have an obligation to do so.

Which doesn't mean superiors will later agree a particular order was illegal.

... form a union among soldiers that demanded, among other things, the right to elect officers....

Try to imagine that disaster. Every officer would be a mono browed pinky ring wearing guy named Vinny. The 3rd no-show brigade would be guarding your left flank.

His brain died long ago.

"... Andy Stapp [...] demanded, among other things, the right to elect officers and reject what they viewed as illegal orders — died on Sept. 3 in Manhattan. He was 70."

I hope he gets to meet Gen. George Washington, US Army Inspector General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben on his first day of boot camp in the afterlife.

The notion of elected officers didn't even survive the opening shots of the Revolutionary War.

By the early 1980s, Mr. Stapp had found a job teaching history at the Hudson School in Hoboken, N.J. He worked there for more than a quarter-century.
I AM surprised the Army didn't make him a grunt and send his pinko-commie @ss to 'Nam.
And I'm NOT surprised some Lib school district hired him to brainwash all the little skulls full of mush.

I wonder if there is any connection to Scott Stapp, lead singer of Creed? I recall that his adoptive father was former military, but in NC, not NJ. Not all that common of a surname.

[IronJack]

Cause of death was a lung infection? I would have thought that absence of a brain would have gotten him much earlier.

Of course he will get a glowing article in the Slimes. They hate the military like he hated it. Destroy it. They all can agree. Good riddance scumbag.
