A felon belongs to a group you moron .... just like a Trans person belongs to a group ... if I said you cant do something because you are trans ... that would be the individual and the group ... perhaps hooked on phonics would be a good investment for you ..
I hate to break it to you but that moron is no longer the CIC so what he did or did not do and for that matter what Ash Carter did or did not do is not relevant. Reversing this as well as most of his other decisions is widely applauded ...keep stomping your feet maybe it will get better for you ... or maybe try holding your breath
