[QUOTE="Riley, post: 2354648, member: 29196"] Sounds like someone wants to make O6 in these trying times.....No, really, this is simply establishing himself as a anti-gun guy which may keep him in favor with his next selection board; as vile as that reality may be. However it may also be a bit shortsighted, in that the winds of politics are always changing. Which I think is generally why most military O's keep out of politics. A funny, unattributed, story about an officer who was drug into the political world: When former U.S. Military commander in Afghanistan , Stanley McChrystal was called into the Oval Office by Barack Obama, he knew things weren't going to go well when the President accused him of not supporting him in his political role as President. "It's not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, it's my job to support you as Commander-in-Chief," McChrystal replied, and he handed Obama his resignation. Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation the President made a cheap parting shot. "I bet when I die you'll be happy to piss on my grave." The General saluted. "Mr. President, I always told myself after leaving the Army I'd never stand in line again.” [/QUOTE]
