A wild beast
Published
Musings, leadership tidbits and quotes posted by a retired Navy Captain (really just a high performing 2nd Class Petty Officer) who hung up his uniform a bit too early. He still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. "ADVANCE WARNING – NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time. 2019 is 84th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.

Do bad ethics count?That sounds ethnocentric.Most wild beasts eat what they kill. Is that ethical?I work for the governmentThey work for the governmentThey leave behind broken stuffI take some of the parts off and use themTo fix other government stuffIs that ethical?My name is RalphI live in RussiaI blew the whistle on the most egregious UnAmerican and illegal behavior in our historyWas that ethical?If a blind government appointed judgethrows out all my rights guaranteed under the ConstitutionIs that ethical?Is it just?Are ethics like morality?Are they conditional?It was both a sin and a crime to be homosexualUntil the Navy decided to celebrate its gaynessand reward those it had earlier condemnedWhen first we practice to deceivedo we first deceive ourselves or just allow others to pull the wool over our eyes?You have been appointed to court of the Star ChamberDo you, as an ethical AmericanGo along to get along?Take notes about the unconscionable things you were party toand publish them after your death?When you do lie awake at night and listen to your thoughtsdo you ever question the things you did that day and Wonder if maybe you violated both the spirit and the intentof the Constitution and our founding documentsOr do you roll over consoled knowing that J. Edgar Hooverapproved of this message?
