Spencer Ackerman, who has been fired from nearly every Leftist rag on the East Coast, takes up for Victor Agosto at his latest employment venture, the Washington Independent;
Ackerman probably doesn’t understand the difference between a Reserve Officer who volunteered for duty, then changed his mind and a Regular Army soldier who was ordered and then refused to report for duty. Of course Ackerman sees political expediency as the reason that Cook didn’t go to jail and ignores the rules that govern personnel issues of military members.
Yeah, Ackerman put a partial explanation in parenthesis, but it’s all secondary to the point he wanted to make that birthers get a pass with Obama administration pulling strings to hide their boss’ deep dark secret.
That’s probably why Ackerman can’t keep a job.
“Ackerman probably doesn’t understand the difference between a Reserve Officer who volunteered for duty, then changed his mind and a Regular Army soldier who was ordered and then refused to report for duty.”
That ‘difference’ has always pissed me off. Reservists enlist, take an oath, and are obligated to serve right along side active duty personnel when called up. I don’t know why in the hell they get a free pass when they refuse to deploy to a war that doesn’t meet their specifications.
Well, in my opinion, Cook is no different than Agosto and he should receive the same treatment as Agosto. He volunteered for this deployment and as such, the roster was built with him on it. That he then decides to shirk his duties due to a political stunt, makes him no better than Agosto. Whether anyone agrees with Cook’s assertions, or not, isn’t the issue; doing your fricken job is the issue. A job that you volunteered for. A job that someone else has to do, because you refused to do it, because of your yellowbelly (Agosto) convictions, or your brain damaged conspiracy theory (Cook).
Man the f**k up and do your job! Or, a hat tip to a couple of the hosts on this site: Ranger the f**k up!
