OVER THE TOP Published April 27, 2007 By Gus Wallace Via e-mail -- I understand the military services bringing down the hammer on drunk drivers, but I'm concerned about your article "DOD Task Force Considers Crackdown for Drivers" (January/February 2007 issue of Torch, page 4). If I understand the article correctly, the Defense Department is considering penalties such as losing the ability to be promoted for irresponsible drivers in general. So if you get some speeding tickets or tickets for aggressive driving, that data will be shared with your unit and your career might suffer? What is this ... Mother Russia? I want people to drive safer too, but this just seems over the top.
