The University of Texas system obviously sucks
He probably used the George Costanza defense when his Pentagon boss asked him “What the F*** were you thinking?!?!” I can picture McRaven saying to him, “Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? Hey, if somebody had specifically told me that working for a defense contractor and publicly ripping on the very TOP govt. boss was a bad idea, I certainly would NOT have done that!”
Yeah, genius, it’s kinda like being on the corporate board of a large parts vendor for Ford and writing an editorial in a large nationwide newspaper ripping on the president of Ford Motor Company. That doesn’t do much for your career, chief. You’d think that a guy that had a very successful military career and a very political job at a large university would’ve picked up this little tidbit of knowledge along the way. In military terms, it’s like being a squadron CO and writing an editorial that slams the Chief of Naval Operations. MORON!!
