Yet another Instagram photo has a U.S. military soldier under public scrutiny.
Just last Wednesday February 19, a Madison, Wisconsin-based soldier from the 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment posted a rather disrespectful photo to her Instagram.
The ‘comical’ photo, which was found on private Terry Harrison’s Instagram, was clearly taken at a “mock” funeral.
The picture shows an empty flag-draped casket surrounded by a group of soldiers smiling and making playful gestures.
Following a stream of backlashes and threats, Harrison and several other National Guard members were suspended.
This is me laying back in my car hiding so I don’t have to salute the 1700 flag, KEEP ALL YOUR ‘THATS SO DISRESPECTFUL/HOWRUDE/ETC.’ COMMENTS TO YOURSELF cuz, right now, IDGAFFFF.
Angry servicemen and family members initially sent the photo to Army Times.
The photo has already received over 300 comments to date.
Some have questioned the authenticity of the new account.
However, Sheffey’s nonchalant video response Tuesday clearly verifies that she’s a real person.
Commentary: Research that examines which brands engage customers and are the drivers in their product categories sees Cupertino win -- yes, even in music.
Apple's image as an innovator and general leader of all things exciting has been assaulted of late.
There are accusations that the company has lost it, that it's dull, that its products are the same and old.
What, though, do real people think?
Apparently, they think the Apple brand delivers more than any other. In every product category in which Cupertino operates.
Research consultancy Brand Keys has just released its 2017 Customer Loyalty Engagement Index. This seeks to find the "category drivers that engage customers, engender loyalty and drive real profits." It's based on the views and emotions of 49,168 consumers aged between 16 and 65.
And when he looks at the results, I fear we may see Tim Cook dancing on the tables at some local Cupertino hostelry.
When it comes to the smartphone category, the top driver is Apple. In tablets, it's Apple. In laptop computers, it's Apple. Yes, this despite the launch of the somewhat deflating MacBook Pro.
What about online music? Goodness me, it isn't Spotify. It's Apple Music.
Even in the headphones product category, Apple-owned Beats ties with LG as the category driver.
Can it be that at a time when Apple is subject to criticism from seemingly all sides, it's still the most emotionally involving, customer-pleasing brand of all?
Despite appearances to the contrary, it appears Apple still makes a lot of people happy. Well, more than Samsung, Microsoft and the rest of its competitors in the various product categories.
In this survey of 83 categories and 740 brands, smartwatches weren't examined. I wonder how Apple would have done in that one.
Then again, if the iPhone 8 projects the sort of almost self-conscious dullness that the iPhone 7 did, I wonder what this survey will say next year.
Humans are known to be fickle.

THE Mary River's elusive 3.8m crocodile has been caught by wildlife officers overnight - more than two years after it was first spotted in the waterway.
The croc was safely captured by rangers from the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection in the Mary River at Mungar near Grahams Creek.
Environment Minister Andrew Powell said the State Government was committed to public safety and protecting crocodiles and its perseverance in this case had paid off.
"Some months ago the Newman LNP Government invested $250,000 in new boats for the Bundaberg and Rockhampton areas and both vessels were involved in the overnight operation," he said.
"Four wildlife officers caught the crocodile with a harpoon, after experimenting with several different baits and trapping methods for some time.
"This has been a challenging operation for our officers, due to the mobility and reclusive nature of this crocodile, but their patience, persistence and professionalism have been rewarded."
Member for Maryborough Anne Maddern said it was believed the crocodile had regularly travelled the full length of the river, between the estuary downstream of Maryborough and the barrage which was well upstream.
"This crocodile was targeted for removal because of its appearance south of the Boyne River, rather than its behaviour," she said.
"Since it was first seen in May 2012 it has displayed an extreme wariness of people.
"It's also been difficult to tempt it into traps as there is an abundant supply of fish in the Mary and no competition from other crocodiles."
Mr Powell thanked local residents for their co-operation and patience throughout the process, but warned that local people still needed to remain vigilant.
The animal, believed to be a male, is expected to be transferred to the Koorana crocodile farm at Rockhampton.
A smaller crocodile was removed from the Mary River in November 2013.
Wildlife officers will continue to monitor the river for another croc, estimated to be 2m, that was sighted in the river on October 16.
Crocodile sightings should be reported to EHP on 1300 130 372 as soon as possible.
The department said all reports were taken seriously and investigated.
On the ruble's crash, who are you going to believe -- the Kremlin or your own eyes?
It looks like a crash to you, sure. But you are obviously mistaken.
U.S. consumer sentiment rose more the anticipated in the preliminary March reading.
The survey reaches a level not seen since 2004.
Optimistic mentions regarding recent tax reform legislation were weighed down, however, by negative views of steel and aluminum, the survey found.
U.S. consumer sentiment rose more than anticipated in the preliminary March reading, reaching a level not seen since 2004.
The University of Michigan's mid-month report on consumer attitudes rose to 102 in March, its highest level since 2004. Reuters economists expected the reading to reach only 99.3 from the previous month's reading of 99.9.
Consumers appeared to be focused on positive economic news — especially noting a favorable economic outlook and confidence regarding personal finances.
Optimistic mentions regarding recent tax reform legislation were weighed down, however, by negative views of steel and aluminum, the survey found. The tariffs were mentioned spontaneously by one in five consumers, according to the report.
"Importantly, near term inflation expectations jumped to their highest level in several years, and interest rates were expected to increase by the largest proportion since 2004," the survey's chief economist, Richard Curtin, said in a statement.
Overall, consumers continue to express confidence about both buying and borrowing in advance due to expected improving trends.
Writing your resume under pressure rather than keeping it updated can take a good career exercise and turn it into a stressful event. People often describe a love-hate relationship with their resume, loving the way it helps them generate attention from employers while hating the process of structuring their content.
While resumes continue to evolve with different formats and purposes the benefits of listing your accomplishments remains an effective way to build confidence.
Yet writing your resume can be challenging when transitioning your career. The reasons vary from person to person, some dislike the self-promotion a resume presents while others fear they will be judged from their work history alone.
You may never feel comfortable with the idea of telling people about your greatest achievements however advancing your career will most likely involve a resume at some point. Rather than focusing on the discomfort, it helps to concentrate on the purpose of writing a strong resume — to make an introduction to potential ...
Here are some common reasons why people dislike writing their resumes and what you can do to help ease the pain. If I had to list the reasons in order, I would probably rank the No. 1 reason as being uncomfortable with bragging. When it comes to identifying your strengths, if you don’t stand up for yourself and tell wh...
Your strengths need to come from you and the candidates who land the best job offers talk about their contributions without sounding like a braggart. Most people run away from braggers, but during a career transition, replace what you might construct as bragging with telling the facts.
Another area of resume discomfort is the scope of accomplishments. Not all people will have Olympic-size goals on their resumes, rather be yourself. The goals you have on your resume need to be important to the employer as well as you. Don’t get stuck on whether you have lofty goals instead focus on the value, skills u...
The notion of writing accomplishments can be further delayed when you don’t know how to write one that will attract an employer. Here is a trusted technique that makes the process of writing accomplishments somewhat easier and gives you a formula to follow — it’s called a SAR technique. The SAR acronym stands for; situ...
Apply the SAR formula to your accomplishments and you will end up with a clear and concise story that tells a potential employer about the situation, the action steps or skills used, and the results produced. Using the SAR technique will always take your accomplishments to the next level where employers can quickly gra...
Being judged is not the best feeling in the world and your resume basically helps an employer judge whether you would be a good match before they talk with you. You may have the best personality combined with all kinds of good intentions but if your resume does not include the skills, abilities and results the employer...
Truthfully, your resume is being critiqued by employers and tracking systems that scan for key words and skills. Your resume is for introducing yourself to your future employer, and believe me: If you don’t come across to an employer as a good match for their needs you will be screened out of the interviewing process.
Writing your resume can seem overwhelming especially when you are starting your career or when you have 20-plus years of experience, both groups often get stuck when deciding what to include and what to leave out. The discouragement in knowing what to edit and to keep often keeps people from creating a resume with a re...
Multitudes of advice on resume writing is enough to confuse the strongest candidate, keeping them second guessing the right format or number of pages. I remember one manager going through a job search rewriting and formatting his resume more than 30 times. He became so preoccupied with the perfect resume that it kept h...
Believe in your resume content, make it your best advocate for your skills and enthusiasm. Add your unique combination of experience, emotional intelligence and tailor it to the employer’s needs. You may always dislike the process but once you start writing down your accomplishments, you’ll discover strengths you might...
What makes you dislike writing a resume? How did you overcome it?
