Morale? Not for now.

(16,937 posts)First, we have IQ45 over-ruling military trial findings that "forgive" military members for breaking accepted law - and now we have a disgraced person famed for defending "alternate truths", as well as, well, terrible dancing, now serving as a member of a board that has oversight of a US Military Academy?
My GAWD, how can you make this story even MORE bizarre?
I'm sure those that have chosen to make their military service a life-time commitment are beginning to have second thoughts now - as well as those that might consider what the future holds for them as they attempt to honor the words that they committed to when they were sworn in...........

IMO, it certainly brings a certain "ick" factor to their boardroom.
