With the thousands of contractors and active service personnel, I'm sure at least one of them used "availed himself of any of a dozen avenues of address", to what effect? Just like the sexually harassed individuals in the military who are unable to obtain justice, there's a lot of inertia in any large organization, and lack of political will to effect change. <br /><br />Am I not going to place him in the same category as Daniel Ellsberg, but Americans need a kick in the ass, and this has provided it.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04740298780785384929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-72484812638385579212013-06-20T08:03:41.816-05:002013-06-20T08:03:41.816-05:00I am so sorry for your family's loss.I am so sorry for your family's loss.

Sure, it's lazy, but what do you expect from minions? Eventually, my lackadaisical approach will land me in a management position, whereafter you will likely give me the keys to the secret room or guardianship of a button that must not be pushed under any circumstances.

I know from experience how badly one reels from a loss like you have had. The days to come you may find to be like lightning bolts, sometimes a step forward, often a couple backwards. I can tell you it gets more bearable with time but there will always be days when it feels just as raw and unhealed as if no time had gone by. Treasure the memories of the good times and make as many new ones as you can. Hope you enjoyed a good Father's Day with your son.<br />Old Navy Comm O<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-74485737832700050322013-06-16T17:20:47.638-05:002013-06-16T17:20:47.638-05:00I'm simply glad you are still here and more th...I'm simply glad you are still here and more than happy that you enlighten and entertain us with your sharp wit and incisive commentary.
