Daniel Halper
reports<http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/army-spokesman-reminds-employees-and-civilians-not-criticize-commander-chief_706476.html>for
*The Weekly Standard*, Mar. 5, 2013, that a U.S. Army spokesman, *Stephen
D. Abney*, the chief public affairs official for the Army’s Joint Munitions
Command, recently sent an email to all 6,000 employees he speaks for, as
well as civilian contractors.
The email details how our soldiers should deal with the press because of
sequestration -- the mandatory spending cuts to the military. But the email
also tells our soldiers they are not to criticize the POS or any political
party to members of the press.
Here's the full text of Abney's email:
*-----Original Message-----*
*From: Larson, Angela M CIV (US)*
* Sent: Friday, March*
* 01, 2013 5:59 PM*
* To: USARMY RIA JMC List DL All JMC Pers*
* Subject: Sequestration - Media Tips*
*To JMC employees,*
*Because of media interest in sequestration and furlough, you may be
approached or contacted by a reporter at some point and asked to comment.*
*If you don't wish to speak with a reporter, politely decline.*
*If you agree to be interviewed, remember that you're expressing your
personal opinion, not that of anyone else - and certainly not the opinion
of JMC or the Army.*
*Avoid giving an answer that might be perceived as criticism of the
Commander in Chief or any political party.*
*If you’re asked to provide an official statement, refer the reporter to
JMC PAO, the official spokesperson for the command. Their number is
[REDACTED].*
*v/r*
*Stephen D. Abney*
* Chief, Public Affairs*
* Joint Munitions Command*
* DSN [REDACTED]*
*Classification: UNCLASSIFIED*
Abney told the *Weekly Standard* that he was just reminding employees that
"they are not spokespersons for the government" and that Obama, their
commander in chief, is their boss.
************************************************************************
Actually, Mr. Abney, you are wrong.
Barack Obama is not their boss. The boss of Obama and every soldier and
employee of the federal government are U.S. taxpayers.
This must mean only one thing:
There's a crescendo of gripes about the thin-skinned POS from our service
men and women! LOL :D
