The case of Army Master Sergeant and milblogger C.J. Grisham doesn’t surprise me. He’s in a public dispute with his child’s public school in Huntsville, AL, and his command has failed to back him. They were already irritated at his public criticism of Barry’s presidential fitness and needling of the Democrat Party.
The Army is a top-down organization and active-duty milbloggers like Grisham walk a fine line between free speech and insubordination. Tits on a boar, I say. If the Army wanted soldiers to have blogs, they’d be issued them. But other milbloggers disagree and they have gone silent through Friday to protest Grisham’s situation, which is extensively explained here. Whatever they say in public, I’m sure that’s what the Army would prefer active-duty milbloggers do: Go silent. Permanently.
