I do not represent the Naval War College, but this piece is irresponsible. @MRSmithAP asked me if I knew anything about hiring irregularities, and I do not, so I referred her to our PAO. But I was more than willing to speak on the record about Harley's leadership. /1
In my personal opinion, this is a hit job. RADM Harley is cordial and self-effacing, and his emails are often jokes made at his own expense. There's more than a few of us who would have said so - if we'd been asked. (FTR, I never saw a margarita machine.) /2
Instead, we have complaints from angry ppl about everything from parking (no, really) to the imposition of new and *long overdue* standards. The article ignores multiple new intiatives at NWC, including a Russian maritime studies institute, new intitatives on cyber and others. /3
When I was asked about an issue about hiring, I was honest and referred the AP to our PAO because I had no knowledge about it. But I've been here in one capacity or another for nearly 30 years. You all know I'm not shy and I would have gone on the record. But I wasn't asked. /4x
