Secret Service agent on paid leave

The Secret Service agent who said she wouldn't take a bullet for Trump, despite that being a job requirement, has been put on paid leave pending an investigation. She now says she shouldn't have said what she said. Hindsight is always 20-20. How do you feel about her comments in general and her paid leave in particular?

As far as how I feel about her comments?? They were and are unacceptable in her particular line of work, and should result in her termination, in my opinion.

Why do you think thats a job requirement?
I'm pretty sure it isn't.
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

I'm pretty sure it isn't.
Some folks (usually those that take no risk in their lives) work under the mis-conception that soldiers and cops, as well Secret Service in this case get paid to get shot and die. I doubt there is a specific policy that requires one to "take a bullet". There may be situations that result in "taking a bullet" however there is a big difference between risk and expectation. Anyways I agree with you.
If I were POTUS I would neither ask nor expect a woman to do so.
But that's just me.
But it was a very foolish thing for her to post.
And that is just her.
I am sure you wouldn't be here defending Trumps's chivalry if he were to fire every woman on protective details
But that's just me
I wouldn't imagine anything has changed. A transfer seems to be in order.

I do not think that you apparently know me as well as you think, or enough to make such claims.
And that is you, for sure.
Can you show me one post that you have made here that's complimentary of Trump?
Anything at all

Or complimentary of anyone/anything? Nah,....his type don't do that.
How many people would? I probably wouldn't.
But then I'm not an SS Agent and neither should she or anyone else of like mind either.
If she said it, her mind's already there.
Fire her liberal * and be done with it. [;)]
While First Lady, being assigned to Hillary's detail was considered punishment from what I've read.

I like that idea... Send her to Hillary's. [:D]

If this had happened under Obama she probably would have been promoted, remember how that fool had a ceremony for the parents of deserter Bergdahl.
Who knows, Trump may actually punish her. She obviously should never have been hired in the first place.
Lerners, Holders, Lynches, all were hired for partisanship only. Need to drain the swamp.
She should be fired on the spot and all retirement severed.

Trump doesn't have to. He's got people for that.

She should certainly lose her job, but taking her retirement, something she has worked for, and contributed to for 23 years because of an ill advised public outburst is over the top.
Plenty of ignorant * comments are made everyday on this forum (myself included) and others and those folks don't deserve to be destroyed anymore than she does.

You think he's going to have Putin do something?

I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me God.
And her duty is clearly to protect the President, if she refuses to do her duty she needs to be removed.

"I hope he has an uproariously successful term in office."
I didn't think so.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
