All these cowards clinging to their temporary command ranks, rolling over on their bellies for a worthless politician, make my physically ill. Is avoiding a demotion to Lt worth sacrificing your integrity and reputation? This is the legacy you will leave with on the department and what officers will always remember you by. You are usually retired longer than you serve on the department. That's a long time to be regarded as having been an incompetent servile political minion.
