I also think he should get a pass on this one. He spouted off in an argument... And got out in front of his skis on it... But he did serve honorably and he corrected himself. While he wasn’t attached to a SF unit he did at least graduate Ranger school. It’s not as wrong as it might have been. It’s just not that big of a deal.
We should all count ourselves lucky that we don’t have people recording what we say every day and posting it on the Internet. I think he gets a mulligan on this one.
Absolutely perfect way of viewing this. Thanks, Ramius.
