Nice to hear from you again, Ilene. For that alone, I would like to buy a round for SCPO (ret) Beck.
Folks, I believe Georgette's tale is the kind of story that the Chairman of the Joint Chief's of Staff had in mind yesterday when stated, "There will be no modifications to the current policy..." Unless and until he receives an order, through proper channels (i.e. not Twitter), mission readiness will not be compromised by political grandstanding. Gen. Dunford has earned huge respect from me, publicly making a statement that could very well end his distinguished career. I trust his judgment. Everyone here should.
