Army Values.... yeah right.

 The Army is now claiming that due to COVID it can not send or receive any mail.... 

COVID-19 UPDATE: As a result of increases in the Health Protection Condition (HPCON) level, our offices are limited to mission-essential personnel only and maximizing the use of telework for other personnel. This means that we are unable to handle Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests sent via traditional methods [MAIL] and can only respond to electronic inquiries while under elevated HPCON levels.

Army values are states by the Army as:

"Honor is a matter of carrying out, acting, and living the values of respect, duty, loyalty, selfless service, integrity and personal courage in everything you do."

Leaders lie “in the routine performance of their duties,” and “ethical and moral transgressions [occur] across all levels” of the organization. Leaders have also become “ethically numb,” using “justifications and rationalizations” to overcome any ethical doubts. This “tacit acceptance of dishonesty… [facilitates] hypocrisy” among leaders.

By Leonard Wong and Stephen Gerras, professors at the U.S. Army War College, from their study called Lying to Ourselves: Dishonesty in the Army Profession.

The ONLY department of the Government effected and stating this are the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) offices.  Very strange that FOIA departments are the ONLY departments in the entire Governments stating they will not send or accept mail due to COVID.  It couldn't possibly be the Army is trying to impede or obstruct FOIA submissions.  Mail is considered ESSENTIAL but not by the Army... and only when it comes to FOIA submissions or responses.   Yeah right.  Obstruction doesn't get any more glaring.   "Selfless service" and "integrity" doesn't seem to be part of the values being shown by the Army currently.  As documented over and over on this blog the Army has NO HONOR.
