Leadership requires that the leader earn and deserve the trust of
his subordinates. It is initially assumed that an officer deserves
trust, but over time as a unit is forged into a functional combat team
the defacto trust must be replaced by earned trust. Part of
earning that trust is demonstrating clearly that he will not tolerate
any behavior from any subordinate that might compromise the integrity
or performance of the team, unit or command, and that he can and wil
make that stick.


Don - you are wasting your time - the Obama haters will carp and whine no
matter what he does, even when it is the only choice, or a good choice.
Trying to explain why this particular action was required will be like
teaching a pig to sing - it won't work, and it will annoy the pig. This
country is descending into a pit of pure hatred where right thinking people
will be universally reviled because they don't wear the right suspenders, or
claim the right party allegiance.

This was not a political statement, please don't try to politicize it.
