GG's request to visit Afghanistan denied twice

[KevinB]

I think Mike's beef was the internet version of Silent Insolence.

I never have thought she should have been GG - but since SHE IS - she should be accorded all the whoopdeydoo that goes along with it -- Inc the right to visit troops

Actually Michael, he DID state that he would treat her with the respect HER POSITION entitled her too......where's the beef?

He said he'd salute her but walk away if expected to respond.

I don't see what the vitriol is about. If the GG was a separatist in the past, I think she's entitled to that point of view. Free country and all that.  Who's to say a separate Quebec wouldn't be better in the long run, anyway. But that's a separate fight. Point being, you can wish for PQ to seperate and still love Canada.

Regardless, she took an oath upon being made GG, same as any soldier. So even if she thought that, she wouldn't act on it in office.

Just seems like sour grapes to me.

KB - I always liked the old official title - "Dumb insolence".  Seems to sum it up so nicely.

Yes I am well aware she is my Commander and Chief that would be why I would have the proper respect for her title and call her mam.

Micheal I'm not sure what your getting at, as my Commander and Chief she would get the respect of her postion requires. I would call her Mam though I believe if I remember protocol when first addressing her it would be "your Excellency" and in fact I did say I would do that. After that though unless I was ordered to stay in her company I would make myself scarce

Thanks, HOM, I was just reading back your posts when you posted this cause I thought maybe I missed something..........no beef here.

He said he'd salute her but walk away if expected to respond.

Your putting words in my mouth or you just didn't get what I was trying to convey, the fact remains she has a postion of respect to the military do to her title as such she should be accorded all the toodoo that goes with it (parades salutes etc etc etc) however should it be a matter of my choice as to remaining in her company once my task as a soldier is complete (such as being at the parade or being her escort etc etc) I would beat a hasty retreat, the reason being that while I respect the postion and can do my duties for that postion I will not unless ordered to spend my time with someone I do not respect.

*Edit: Part of post removed as it was clarified by Mr Dorsh (thank you btw).

No personal attack intended - "dumb" means "silence" in this case.
