You guys really are disgruntled about this OPR nonsense, almost as pissed off as PYB and I am about our government's big power overreach and direct violation of the Bill of Rights.
You have a senior leader here, a flag officer, engaging in conversation with you. He has opinions, naturally, but is respectfully conversing. Rather than seeing this as a grand opportunity to have your personal perspective heard and possibly to influence high level promotion/PRF positive changes, you act like fukkers questioning his motives and leadership. That's baseops for ya!
