    You are now an attorney, expert in contract law?

    Actually, the latest articles say he was suspended from his job with pay pending an investigation. Seems he wasn't fired after all...

    Enough to know how government contracting works, considering I got certified to do smaller ones and as a technical rep for them.

    Most likely, they military will wait a few weeks until it disappears from the news cycle and then it'll be a case of It never happened. The brass will protect their own.

    he was suspended from the contract, which means he gets nothing.

    That's not how it works. They can suspend him from working but they still have to pay him. They can only void the contract once there is provable cause and that's damn hard to do sort of some major crime occurring to cause it.

    You are wrong again, he was last paid as of the end of June. You have no idea at all what the terms of the contract are, all you have is one fucking big mouth.

    Fuck that right-wing asshole.

    I hope he gets his pension cut in half.

    Why so quick to fuck with someone's livelihood over free speech? That's quite a fascist thing to do..

    The same way you and I both know volsrock is a racist even though he never (rarely?) uses the n-word.

    You're Left of Center but Nomad is as far left as the Alt-Right dipshits are far right. Have you noticed that the more extreme people become, the more emotional they are? The most extreme are devoid of logic.

    It's not a free speech thing; employers are allowed to hold their employees to a standard. A retired 3-star is no different than anyone on JPP when it comes to the workplace.

    ...Or are you saying he has a "right" to that job?
