Hacks Need Not Apply


Presenting the Surgeon General of the United States of America, Jerold Adams, at 1:03:04 of the video below:

.... No more bickering, no more partisanship, no more criticism or finger-pointing. There'll be plenty of time for that. But we all need to hit the reset button and move into leaning forward, prioritizing the health and safety of the American people.





And now the President of the United States of America,Donald J. Trump:

It's bad enough that the "no more criticism' Surgeon General doesn't understand the notion of accountability. If he wants to be partisan, there is no stopping him. However

According to this explanation, the US Public Health Service, headed by the Surgeon General, began around 1870 as the Marine Hospital Service to minister to merchant sailors, and whose members since then have been "given military-style commissions and naval-style ranks."

If the tradition of the US Public Service is upheld, so, too, should be the tradition in which those wearing the uniform strictly avoid politics and the appearance of partisanship. If Jerold Adams wants to be yet another mouthpiece for a corrupt Administration, he needs to appear as a civilian and shed the uniform.
