Post’s Comments Generate Calls for Congressional Hearing | Arizona Daily Independent

Comments made by Major General James Post, Vice Commander of Air Combat Command, that “anyone who is passing information to Congress about A-10 capabilities is committing treason” has sent shock waves through the USAF and the military ranks in general. As a result, there is a growing demand for congressional hearings on the matter.

I just saw this on the news and wanted to see if someone had posted it here. Interested to see this kind of behavior from the higher ups. Does he own stock in whatever the proposed replacement is?
