Lt. Gen. Benjamin Mixon — who received the personal attention of Defense Sec. Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen when he had a letter published in Stars & Stripes defending DADT, and advising service members to reach out to their lawmakers — will receive neither a dismissal nor a letter of reprimand on his official record.

I was under the impression that people in the military were not supposed to activly advocate political issues under their official persona. Did I get that wrong??

@Cam: Can’t whilst in uniform or imply that what you are advocating for is official military policy.
Unfortunately, what he is advocating for is official military policy, even if it is vile, disciminatory and un-American, so I guess the rules don’t apply.

i agree with all of you that he is a moron, unfortuanantly he is still a military personel.
