as posted by Ski, makes sense. But, given the existence of this medium, the requirement to watch the Pres give it "live" outside normal duty hours does not. Any officer who knew that the implications of the speech for the military would be discussed the next morning had multiple options as to how to get that information off the net, to include (I bet), watching a recording of the speech on You Tube before coming in to the L & C Center. In any event, reading a transcript was always an option. So, at minimum, telling military students "how to suck eggs" is even more stupid than it always was..
