I think that you can disagree with someone'...QM,<br />I think that you can disagree with someone's decision without calling their integrity in to question. Like I said before, Harvey made the best of a series of bad options he had - as he saw it. He had to make the call, and he did. I don't think he lost any integrity by it.<br /><br />Disagree with his decision if you wish - but unless you have something to base it on, I don't think you can bring his integrity in to question.

Certainly would not agree with anyone that seriously thinks Harvey has any integrity.<br /><br />This board is not about justice, or anything like it. It's all about CYA for the flags, and even a little about covering for Harvey's idiocy on the matter.<br /><br />The Navy is still woefully screwed up, and this board is just another data point in support of my conclusion.Quartermasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-79252171939657857582011-08-27T09:26:58.861-04:002011-08-27T09:26:58.861-04:00I'd rather have sister in whorehouse than a br...I'd rather have sister in whorehouse than a brother in VP.

So, the Board's findings of misconduct are binding but their recommendation that he be retained on active duty is not. The Bureau could still discharge him..... A very common tactic by Counsel for Respondent (the term for the "defendant" at a BOI) is to help the Board understand this techincal point and urge them to find "no misconduct" if they want to retain the respondent. A finding of "no misconduct" ties the Bureau's hands - they can't discharge him. but a finding of misconduct leaves the Bureau free to discharge regardless of what the Board recommends.

Now, that is an area where we need to investigate and clean house!Johnnoreply@blogger.com
