Since when is the Secretary of State in the chain of command? I’ve never been in the military and this sounds stupid to me.

Whatever gave you the idea that the military took its orders from the Secretary of State?

Pretty sure he ain’t coming back, he’s too busy stroking his rifle and his tiny gun and wishing that someone would ever allow him to use either for their intended purpose.

That, and admiring himself in the mirror wearing his uniform and stolen medals.

He was once, but now he’s not allowed back any more.

> They can ban someone for being in an _unprotected_ class (e.g. obnoxious assholes). This has always seemed unfair to me — can’t obnoxity be an inherited disorder over which the asshole has little control?

Well, I can’t really claim it’s _genetically_ inherited, because I was nurtured by the same folks who gave me genes. But people who are married into my family often say out loud, “They’re a \<insert my last name\>, what are you going to do?”

And my wife said of this particular incident, “You would have been up in his face in a second”, and she implied it would have been like dinner conversation to me. I like to believe I have more self control than that, but I am also a member of my family. She found the first dinner she had with my family a little terrifying, and it wasn’t even animated by our standards.

Either way: yeah, shouldn’t have been allowed back on the plane. He would barely be allowed to remain in a dive bar while continuing to behave that way.
