But first, a brief word about more educratic disloyalty:
A 7-year-old’s high and tight haircut....
....meant to honor his soldier-stepbrother earned him the threat of suspension from an elementary school named for a Medal of Honor recipient,….
….His mother, Amy Stinnett, said he’d requested the high and tight to be more like Specialist Justin Bloodworth, his active-duty stepbrother.
Adam was written up by the principal, who thought the haircut was against school policy banning “mohawk haircuts or other extreme cuts.” [emphasis added]
Well, it is kind of a mohawk, I suppose. Perhaps an "all-over" crewcut would have been sufficient.
I can't help wondering, though, if Mr. Stinnett might not have been written up if he'd been African-American and he'd gotten the new 'do in solidarity with "#HandsUpDon'tShoot/BlackLivesMatter". My guess is probably not.
Amy Stinnett disagreed. Adam went back Tuesday with the same haircut.
Ooh, THAT lady has admirable ovaries.
After his mother received an email from the principal and stopped by for a face-to-face [confrontation], it was made clear that Adam’s hairstyle would have to change before he returned to school.
“They crushed my son’s dreams,” she said of the school officials. “They made him feel upset. They broke his heart. He didn't deserve that.”
Ah, but he did, Mrs. Stinnett, because he was "glorifying war," or something. And "violence freaks" must not be celebrated. Once your son grows his hair out to hippie length and sticks flowers in it and starts regularly smoking weed and discloses his stepbrother's personal information to ISIS, all will be forgiven.
The school district has taken down its Facebook page after a deluge of comments, said Bobby Cox, the district’s director of schools. He said the messages were “not necessarily threatening” but added to an incident that had caused the district “great stress.”
In other words, not "threatening" in the least but blasting the "district" for its gratuitously despicable conduct.
[…] Warren County Board of Education, which put out a news release Wednesday in response to the Southern Standard article saying, in part, that “[n]either Bobby Ray Memorial Elementary, nor any school in Warren County School District, prohibits military haircuts.”
Which, I'm guessing, they define as "grows his hair out to hippie length and sticks flowers in it". That is today's Obarmy, after all.
No, the young Mr. Stinnett isn't supposed, and will not be allowed, to follow in Specialist Bloodworth's (Is that an awesome surname or what?) footsteps, but those of a certain "sergeant" we know and loathe:
Former Taliban....soldier "Sergeant" Bowe Bergdahl told military investigators that he left his base in June 2009 to report on misconduct in his unit and always intended to come right back.
Like, I'm guessing, his buddies actually fighting the Taliban.
That will also be his defense if and when he faces a court martial for desertion, according to his lawyer.…
In other words, this trial will be waged in the courtroom of public opinion, and the rigged verdict will be forced on the military tribunal
On Wednesday, Fidell....
I'm sorry, Bergdahl's shyster is surnamed "Fidel with an l"? You really can't make this stuff up.
....released a statement by Bergdahl about the conditions of his imprisonment, as well as a legal memo Fidell wrote this month about Dahl’s report. “While hedging its bets, the report basically concludes that SGT Bergdahl did not intend to remain away from the Army permanently....
No, I imagine he pictured himself coming back at the head of a conquering Taliban horde to wreak vengeance and jihad on his former "infidel" comrades.
....as classic ‘long’ desertion requires,” the memo says. “It also concludes that his specific intent was to bring what he thought were disturbing circumstances to the attention of the nearest general officer.”
Because noncoms always have first dibs on flag officers' time.
But then he didn't specify which side's "general officers" to which he was referring, did he?
Fidell also questions in his memo “whether SGT Bergdahl can receive a fair trial” due to the “lynch mob atmosphere” since his May 31st release.
Which the perveyor of any rigged, outcome-based verdict would claim of unexculpted facts and evidence that would conflict with that verdict.
There have been claims that U.S. soldiers died in the search for Bergdahl, although Fidell argues in the memo that no evidence exists to support such claims.
Oh, yeah, no evidence whatsoever....
.....except the above. Which I'm guessing won't be admitted into evidence. At White House insistence, of course.
Incidentally, according to Afghan witnesses at the time, "Sergeant" Bergdahl was highly unlikely to find any U.S. "general officers" where he was reconnoitering:
The Washington Post has reached Afghan villagers who spotted Bergdahl shortly after he slipped away from his base. To them, it’s clear something was wrong with the American. And he seemed to be deliberately heading for Taliban strongholds, they say.
Locals remember Bergdahl walking through the village in a haze. They later told Afghan investigators that they had warned the American that he was heading into a dangerous area.
“They tried to tell him not to go there, that it is dangerous. But he kept going over the mountain. The villagers tried to give him water and bread, but he didn't take it,” said Ibrahim Manikhel, the district’s intelligence chief.
“We think he probably was high after smoking hashish,” Manikhel said. “Why would an American want to find the Taliban?”
Why, indeed. But after all, that is today's Obarmy.
Only thing missing was the long, greasy hair and the flowers.
