Galrahn bails on USNI blog.


I lurk on the USNI blog from time to time and to be honest when I first read this blog post, I didn't see anything controversial...just another statement from an inside the beltway blogger that spends too much time at Navy Headquarters.

This statement though has me scratching my head...
I apologize to the United States Naval Institute for failing to meet editorial standards on the blog in my November 10, 2010 post titled Leadership and Accountability. In that post it has been suggested I made an ad hominem attack against Admiral Jonathan Greenert. US Naval Institute blog rules forbid ad hominem attacks on the blog. I am responsible for all content posted under my name on the United States Naval Institute blog, and I strongly believe I should always be held accountable by USNI for any violation by me of their rules.
 I didn't see the 'ad hominem' attack.

The US Navy is in bigger trouble than I thought if they're to the point of pushing Politically Correct THOUGHT!

If you have an interest in Naval Services then this should send a chill down your spine.

The leading blog of the US Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard has now instituted a type of censorship of opinion that does not support the views of leadership.

I once lurked over at the USNI blog.  I won't even do that now.

PS.
And if you believe that this was simply a voluntary exit on Galrahn's part then I suggest you notice these words..."it has been suggested I made an ad hominem attack'...from reading his blog I can tell you that the only people that would carry weight when it comes to that suggestion with the G-man would be Navy leadership or the USNI blog editors.  Since the editors allowed the posting then it would have to be Navy leadership.
