In August 2013, the Obama administration was considering launching strikes in Syria for crossing the self-proclaimed \u201cred line\u201d and deploying chemical weapons. That same month, Stewart supposedly used foul language when a subordinate wrote an incomplete report. A year later, just after the self-proclaimed Islamic State took control of Mosul, Iraq\u2019s second largest city, CENTCOM alleged that Stewart cursed at a subordinate for filing an overtime form incorrectly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>OK, everyone in this crowd who qualifies for dismissal under these same conditions, raise your hands. Look around the room.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Defense Intelligence Agency chief of staff, the third-highest ranking member of that office, testified for hours over why she decided that a few curses could not be tolerated in an office that helped determine which suspected ISIS members should be targeted for death from above\u2026.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;d like to hear that testimony. I&#8217;d like to hear why the occurrence of two usages of unsavory language can eliminate the protections written into the Code of Federal Regulations and the United States Code.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Chief Tango for the link<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carolyn Stewart spoke up about intelligence at CENTCOM evaluations of the war against ISIS being based &hellip; <a title=\"Carolyn Stewart; Central Command whistleblower fired for curse words\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=65686\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Carolyn Stewart; Central Command whistleblower fired for curse words<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[237],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-pentagon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65686\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
