Remember everyone. No matter how much you serve or love your country if you step out of line even an inch you will be punished. Our country is no longer ours. We exist to serve the masters.

Privacy? They're gov't employees on the taxpayer's dime. If anything the American taxpayers deserve to know when their gov't is dropping 150k on hotel rooms.

“You’re a terrorist and you have dishonorably served your country by posting the photos and video,” Bohnert told Paffrath, adding that if Paffrath re-posted the photos and video he will, “have the federal government knocking on your door and you will be incarcerated.”
Being fired for them losing a $150,000 contract is one thing, but isn't him being branded a terrorrist bit iof an overkill?
