If you don't like the message - fine. But don't be so shallow as to dismiss the message because you didn't like the messenger. Do you want style or substance?
If one has to trade on the fact that they were in the military and held an officers position, that is self speaks volumes.
Their message, and the platform they are running on, should speak solely.
Perhaps being a colonel is a liability in an organization that is trying to go back to its mandate of being bottom up. Especially on that talks down to other pilots in their "campaign" letters.
