Trust me, I could have gone the WaPo route in a second...I chose not to because I took an oath. I said what had to be said and took my medicine.

With all that in mind, I do, however, agree with everything you have written.

From what I have read he went outside the chain of command with an unsecured email with at least twenty recipients.

If that is the case, he got off light. There are secure comms at his disposal: Use that route and take the hit quietly if you are so inclined. He apparently wasn't.

My opinion is only based on what has been reported. My friend's son isn't emailing a word.

RNajarian, I didn't know you were/are a medical officer. Thank you!

Thank you. Real credibility is a very rare subsance in the world today. You possess it.
