I think JQP is a bit off, I really don't think Gen Post made that remark "knowing that in chilling the civic participation of his subordinates, he made it unlikely any of them would risk his wrath in order to take the actions necessary to manifest a complaint against him." My impression of him at WEPTAC was that he really was just speaking from his perspective. In this case, he just can't fathom that anyone would know what's at stake and still think keeping the A-10 is good idea. In other words a self-righteous a-hole who can't fathom that A-10 bros might actually have some kind of valid argument.
I went in thinking his bro-level input from a GO-level was pretty cool, but some of the things said tweaked me a bit. It makes me wonder if a GO can actually provide bro level input at all, it seems all too political.
