Suckling the Government Teet

J.D. Pendry is a retired Sergeant Major for whom I have a lot of respect. I’ve asked him a few times for leadership advice from one senior NCO to another when I felt like I couldn’t turn to my own Senior NCO leaders. He’s walked the walk and can talk the talk.

I’ve gotten a few emails in the past (none recently) with similar statements. When the first “stimulus” bill hit and I was against it, I received a similar email than the one J.D. recently got:

“Greetings J.D.

So sorry to hear about your heel problem.. I do hope that with your military retirement plan that the VA. hospital was ready …waiting and was there for you. Of course this is a benefit that is a social program to the people who served this great country as you did..”

J.D. let’s the man have it. Check out his response.
