Comment on The Real Reason for the Real Estate Crash is Atheism? by Volly

She’s got the cause & effect thingy all wrong. She keeps renting to Christians, the overall IQ of the ‘hood drops and so do the housing prices.

Am I mistaken, or is it not illegal to discriminate on the basis of religion when renting housing?

Sorry, ylooshi. I wasn’t disagreeing with you specifically. I think there was someone else who thought this was a promotion. I’m just saying that to go from base command to a “J” level staff position on a combatant command is definitely not a demotion. If he does well as J-4, he could move to another high level command, or he could be retired even with a good performance. Even another command position is no guarantee of a third star. The good news is that, as a staffer, for the time being he’ll have to defer to the combatant commander, a four-star. The very top level CCs probably know better than to push religion.

You might be right, and I said I may be wrong in an earlier comment. But it doesn’t smack of a promotion to me. Still, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is a stepping-stone to a third star. Hopefully, however, he’ll have a blight on his record after Mikey Weinstein is done filing legal actions. At the very least it demonstrates poor judgment. And we hardly need a “born-again” who thinks he answers to a higher authority than his chain of command making logistics or command decisions with soldiers lives on the line.

I’m afraid that Chambers is not being demoted, as you seem to think. He’ll be a top-level staff officer at U.S. Central Command, which is simply located on an air force base; however, his predecessor in his new job was moved to a command position in Kuwait. This is a normal career transition where staff and command positions alternate. This guy is still moving up.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. He’ll be in good company with all the AF “born-agains.” Maybe he’d be happier in Colorado Springs? I mean really, it’s bad enough that politicians have brought religion/religiosity into politics, but in the freakin’ military? Keep it to your damned self, soldier…

Director of Logistics, US Army Central Command is not a demotion for Chambers. The job may be physically located on an Air Force base, but it is ultimately responsible for the logistics chain supporting Iraq & Afghanistan. My guess is that this puts Chambers on the short list for his third star
