  Major, I also saw the note from the Army Captain about Obama's trip to Afghanistan. He later retracted his statement when counseled that the e-mail could be construed as relating a political opinion. Such a thing would end his career, and conceivably put him in jail..
  
  Interestingly, I've gotten one note privately asking me to not speak about it, and I'm not even in the military any more!
