Military problems

The Chief of the Defence Staff is in a bit of bother over writing letters trying to dissuade employees from giving evidence in an employment case.

It's interesting that there has been no comment on many NZ blogs - I guess the right don't want to criticise a military officer, and the left don't want to criticise a senior government employee.

Or is that too cynical..

Hadn't seen it. If the reporting is correct then I would expect the officers involved to stand down. My question for you is where is your commenting on reports about all the corruption and overspending from your beloved helengrad. Double standards anyone

Not complaining, just commenting..

I do think there is something odd going on in the MOD when:
- their most senior officer gets involved in an individual HR issue
- letters get written which any reasonable lawyer or even HR person would advise against

I thought about blogging it but didn't think there was much comment to be added.

Don't know why anyone would think I wouldn't criticise a military officer, consiering how much I criticise other institutions.
