^ Same here.  I couldn't tell if some parts were a mockery of the Presidents address or not.  Watch the hand gestures that seem to be forced and compare them to similar ones used by Obama the night before.

Honestly, I did not get much out of it other than there is going to be yet another website within the CAP website.

I have it on good authority that it wasn't a joke...

The post beneath this one is a lie.

...wait, this wasn't just a joke?

wow.

Looking at his Facebook page, I have a feeling he let the position get to his head.

You're able to view the video still, regardless of your Facebook membership status. All you have to do is bring up the link, and click the videos tab...its the first one from the left.

Probably should have not included the fake applause.

I have always been a huge supporter of the CAC, having been a Wing CAC Chairman in the past.  However, stunts like this make it awfully hard to defend the CAC process. 

For me to take this seriously, I would have to know Where and To Whom he was addressing (as indicated by the crowd "applause"), more about what the council is proactively doing besides another website, etc.  In other words more substantial content, not just a huge fluff piece promoting C/LTC King. 

Unfortunately, I'm hanging my head in shame.

I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that the national CAC chair created a "Government Official" Facebook page for himself.

I couldn't even watch the video all the way through.

Yeah, I can't resist. I have to send this to all my CAP friends.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

When I saw that crap, I thought it was him alone. Unfortunately that is what NCAC is doing as a group effort. :)

He also has a chief of staff and a bunch of other staffers. *rolls eyes*

Heey, heey... Not so quick. I have been watching the work that the NCAC has been doing and have seen some outstanding things that are beginning to be produced.

I've actually never posted on here before, but I thought this was pretty interesting.. Before I write anything, I don't want to start any debates with anyone- and most of you wont agree with my anyways.... But either way I just thought I'd write what I think.

I took the time to watch the whole speech because he took the time to "address the nation", and I figured it wasn't for nothing.. I was interested in what he said about the CAC and how everyone thinks they don't serve a purpose. I personally think he has guts to get up in front of everyone like that and come right out and say it... I would have never done it myself.

Although I think it was rather long, it lets the cadets on the lower levels get a better understanding of who he is and what he's trying to do. Whether you think it was necessary or not, that's a different story. But it was kinda cool.. I've never heard of an NCAC Chairman doing something like that before. The kid's got guts, IMO.

Hm. Maybe it was a bit cheesy with the applause and what not. I soo get that, haha. But maybe you should focus more on the content of the speech rather than how or where it was done....? IDK, I'm thinking about playing it for my home squadron to see how they feel about it..

I'm going to give the NCAC a chance this term. He made a few promises that caught my interest, but we'll see if the NCAC can follow through with what he said they would do.

Sorry this was so long. But what do you guys think? Do I make any sense at all?
