The Army Times<\/a> headlines an article “SMA defends 1SGT’s actions that earned her an ARCOM” about outgoing Sergeant Major of the Army Ray Chandler’s comments on 1SG Katrina Moerk’s Army Commendation Medal for trolling the internet and reporting other trolls to the Pentagon;<\/p>\n

“When we raise our hand and become Soldiers, we accept many responsibilities. One of them is to uphold the high standards that the American people expect of us \u2014 and that’s 24\/7,” Chandler said. “When we say or do things that bring discredit to the Army, even when we are out of uniform or doing it online, we’ve failed in those responsibilities and that undermines the trust that the American people and our elected leaders have in all of us.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, he doesn’t really address the controversy at all, he just tells folks to behave on the internet. I haven’t heard anyone in Big Army talk about how she took her complaints to the Pentagon. She just didn’t get the trolls in trouble, she got fellow NCOs and some commanders in trouble when she complained that unit training for sexual harassment was beneath her standards. You know, instead of confronting the units with her evidence, her fellow first sergeants. She just went right over everyone’s heads. <\/p>\n

You’d think that the Sergeant Major of the Army would want to remind everyone about using the “chain of support” before they use the “chain of command” to correct discipline problems. Sergeants’ business should remain among sergeants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
