[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1468597, member: 7539"] Good points and I do agree with everything save for understanding the Capt.'s perspective. I believe (and this is after reading his memo also) that a significant portion of his complaint was being forced to force his subordinates also. Were it his own personal beliefs, perhaps it might not have reached this point, but I do understand the concept of not forcing your subordinates to do something that you personally are not comfortable with. Also, if he honestly believes that it was a violation of his civil rights, he would be opening himself up to being a party of violating theirs as well. He not only sought legal counsel on the matter ahead of time, he also followed through on this with his lawsuit against the chief, so he's walking the walk. I guess we'll see if a judge agrees or not... Either way, again I do agree it's a sticky point. [/QUOTE]
