He insisted on signing himself with his rank and employer. Not smart if he wasn’t looking for trouble.
They contacted him before they published the letter, and the article says he asked that his title be included. Fine. But he still did nothing wrong, and they have no grounds for any further punishment.
I suspect he was ready to retire. It has crossed my mind that this would be a great way to retire and at the same time make a point. A sort of forced retirement by opinion option! It is a sick world and the fascists are in control. Problem is that the fascists fag supporters will probably try to keep him from collecting his pension. This crap is not going to end well for any of us.
Bullshit!
I would financially support his suit against the Gaystapo, indolent, and politically correct activists in ANY elected or appointed position of power.
"Nor smart" does not rise to the level of justifying abuse of his personal Constitutional rights; nor to the demand that as a condition of employment, he must surrender those rights.
The Bill of Rights is absolute, not subject to Amendment or interpretation.
