Someone wanted retired Senior Master Sgt. Oscar Rodriguez, the fellow being removed from the ceremony, to speak at his retirement ceremony and the commander didn&#8217;t want him to speak. There is a full explanation at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jqpublicblog.com\/video-retired-smsgt-forcibly-removed-retirement-ceremony\/\">John Q Public<\/a>, the authority on all things Air Force. <\/p>\n<p>I read the whole thing, but it all seems rather childish to me. I know how I would have avoided the whole thing if I&#8217;d been any one of those folks.<\/p>\n<p>Also from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2016\/04\/06\/air-force-reserve-investigating-video-showing-retiree-forcibly-removed-from-ceremony.html?intcmp=hpbt2\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A spokesman from the reserve said that the confrontation stemmed from \u201can unplanned participation\u201d at the event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rodriguez ignored numerous requests to respect the Air Force prescribed ceremony and unfortunately was forcibly removed,&#8221; a Travis official said in a statement to FoxNews.com. &#8220;We will continue to investigate the situation fully.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Neither Rodriguez nor the honoree could be reached for comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are other ways to occupy the Air Force&#8217;s time, I&#8217;m sure, you know, terrorists and all that.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, last night the video was posted on Fox with no explanation, so everyone was confused.
