I know you have an opinion. And I can't stop you from voicing your thoughts on tough subjects. But I just want to share one thing first.
Politics: mine are different from 98% of Americans. I lean more republican but I hate the notion of suited gangsters fighting for control of the nation. Don't get caught up in disloyal statements. There are people that are envious of you that you have on your FACEBOOK page, and they will rat you out.
Be careful troops. You are the future of the military. You are smarter and stronger than my group was coming up. We were more durable and had more stamina. Every generation has their perks. I think this generation is the greatest. Prove me right. Be smart with your remarks but legal and loyal.

MSG (Join to see) great advice! Facebook is notorious for entrapping. Lately I have been trying to keep my opinions in check. Thank God there was no internet when I served. I was, and to an extent am highly opinionated, but because of the career path I have chosen have decided it would behoove me to tone down what I say.
I am not saying I cannot voice my opinion, I just have to be more tactful and respectful about how I do it.
I love your last sentence and honestly, I believe when being tactful, they can convey them legally and still maintain their loyalty.

I would and say that those in charge need to grow a thicker skin as well. People are going to complain about their work on social media it's natural whether Civilian of Military. People will and may disagree with policies. Also if in a discussion and neither of you can agree pulling rank isn't appropriate either. I too have been guilty of getting my nose out of joint due to misconstruing of tone which really can't be done in an email or such.

It is very easy to do Lisa, especially when it is a subject that one is compassionate about. My nose has been out of joint more times than I can count. It is easy to do because of the reasons you mentioned.
I really hate it when someone tries to pull rank. My boss at the paper is about thirty years younger than me, and because of her inexperience she only knows how to lead by pulling the I am your boss card, and threatening the power of the pen.
I was recently threatened with being written up for insubordination because I refused to turn over some sources. It turned out I was in the right, but there was a thousand other ways other than throwing a tantrum she could have went about handling the situation.
Ok, got off topic for a moment. I totally agree with you that some leaders are thin skinned, in and out of the military.
