Gentlemen,
My name is Matt Hunter, and I'm the Deputy Secretary of Defense of the Virtual Defense Department (VDD, not VDOD). I would like to say first of all, that I'm proud of VDD and VDOD and their capability to co-exist. However, it has come to my attention after my Holiday Return that a member of the VDD has lied on this very forum. First of all, I'd like to appologize for this situation.
Secondly, I would like to explain something. In absolutely no way is the VDOD violating the VDD's copyright restrictions. If they were, we'd in a very professional and respectful manner, PRIVATELY contact them, and the person doing that would be myself as second in command or my superior and friend Brett Buchanan, the SOD here at VDD.
Third, I would like to explain what has been done about this situation. As the Deputy Secretary of Defense, I felt it was within my duty to handle this situation upon my return. I have done just that. Mr. Daniel Grennway has been removed as an Admiral, and has been demoted to the lowest rank of the Navy, and will be suspended for a period of 7 days, upon which he'll return for Executive Board Evaluation.
I hope that the misfortune of this situation only proves that mistakes occur and that the Executive Staff here at VDD is taking care of our issues. We will continue to evaluate our staff members. this will not happen again, and if it does, the consequences will be harsher.
Thank you all for your time.
Sincerely,
Deputy Secretary of Defense
Matthew J. Hunter
